Many people are in the world searching for something to make them happy. They look in a man, a woman, drugs, career, and the list goes on. These people pursue after these things with full force to only discover that they are still not happy. The only way we are going to be truly happy is to find out what we were created for and walk in it. Purpose is defined as original intent or the reason you were created. Look at cars, for example, if you try to drive a Cadillac through mud and rough terrain, you are most likely going to get stuck and tear up your car. A Cadillac can't do the job of a Jeep nor can a Jeep provide the same luxury and comfort that a Cadillac does. They each have their own purpose and everyone is going to be happier if they do what they are supposed to do and not try to copy the other. We have so many people who are jealous of others and try to do what they do. We are never going to be happy until we do what we, as individuals, were made for. The only way to know what we were made for is to consult the Manufacturer, Jesus. God had a purpose set for us even before we were born. Jeremiah 1:5 (Message Translation )says this "Before I shaped you in the womb, I knew all about you. Before you saw the light of day, I had holy plans for you.God says in Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Whatever plan God has for us as individuals, we are going to experience true happiness when we are walking in it. God loves each and every one of us and wants us to have a wonderful life. Jesus said in John 10:10 (New Living Translation) The thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. Whatever your purpose is, it is going to make your life rich and satisfying.
God has a wonderful plan for each of our lives, but we must consult him to see what that plan is. Proverbs 3:6 (New Living Translations) says this, Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. We must be willing, however, to folow God's plan for our lives and not our own agenda. Job 33:14-17 (NKJV) For God may speak in one way, or in another, Yet man does not perceive it. In a dream, in a vision of the night, When deep sleep falls upon men, While slumbering on their beds, Then He opens the ears of men, And seals their instruction. In order to turn man from his deed, and conceal pride from man. God will speak to you concerning your purpose, but you must be able to hear Him. Sometimes he speaks to people in dreams like the scripture above. Sometimes he uses a Godly man or woman to speak to you. Sometimes he just speaks to you in what we call that "still, small voice." That is when you know deep down in your "knower" that it is God speaking to you. Since God created us and gave us our purpose, it is going to be a Godly purpose. No one's purpose is to sing music talking about sex or degrading women. God may have called you to sing, but not to sing in a sinful manner.
When you are walking in God's purpose for your life, things will turn out for the best. Romans 8:28 says "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose." You notice that it says His purpose, not something you have made up for yourself. What better person is there to know why something is created than the person that made it?
If you are searching for happiness and can't seem to find it, first look to Jesus. After that is taken care of, find out what His plan is for your life. I guarantee that you find that happiness and contentment that you have always been looking for.
I will tell you from personal experience, that since I began walking in my God-given purpose that I have never been happier. Part of my purpose is that I help the people of God become victorious in every aspect of their lives. One way I can accomplish that is to help each person discover their purpose. I hope this has helped you. If you need help in finding what your purpose is, send me a message and I will pray with you.
