whats your purpose in life
What is your purpose in Life?
1. While it's true some people seem to find their life purpose easier than others, it's also true that God really does have a plan for every single person, even if it takes a while to see what it is.
a. Jermiah 1:5“I chose you before I gave you life, and before you were born I selected you to be a prophet to the nations.”

Or what if you're working somewhere and you're good at it, but you just don't feel fulfilled?
a. Jermiah 29:11 I alone know the plans I have for you, plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about the future you hope for.

5. The next step in finding your life purpose is right in the Book. All you have to do is read it. The Bible says Jesus told his disciples they were supposed to
