The purpose of your life is far greater than personal satisfaction, peace of mind, even your own happiness. It is much larger than the family, career, and even your dreams and ambitions of the most insane. If you want to know why you were placed on this planet, you must begin with God. You were born by His purpose and for that purpose.

The searching of the purpose of life has puzzled people for thousands years. That's because we typically begin at the wrong starting point - ourselves. We ask the questions which refer to self-centered, "What am I going to be? 'What should I do with my life? Are my goals and my dreams for my future?" But focusing on ourselves will never reveal our life's purpose. The Bible says, "God is in control of His creation lives; everyone's life is in his power." (Job 12:10 - TEV )

It is contrary to what was said by many books, movies, and any other popular seminar, you will not find the meaning of your life by looking within yourself. Maybe you've tried it. You did not create yourself, so you may not say for what you created! If I give the discovery that you've never seen, you would never know its purpose, and the its discovery will not give you too. Only the creator or its guidance book will show its purpose.

You have to start it from God, your creator. You exist because God is pleased with you. You were created by God and for God - and before you understand that, your life would have no meaning. Only in God we discover our origin, our identity, the meaning of our lives, our purpose, and our future. Any other path will lead us to a dead end.

Find your purpose in life by asking God , our creator.
