78. What’s My Purpose, Anyway?

God has created each of us with purpose—a personal calling. We all share this inward tug. So moving forward without any real sense of direction in life can’t help but lead to frustration. “What am I doing for God? I just don’t know what my purpose is.”

Take heart! It’s not an uncommon problem. Christians often find themselves stuck in the disappointing position of not understanding God’s intent for their life. I often sense it myself. At times even those who have been used by God in some unique way share this frustration. Apparently we can’t just sit back and rest on our laurels.

Why God doesn’t just paint us a clear picture, I can’t say. It must have something to do with that faith thing. But though it’s clearly not easy, finding God’s purpose for our life actually isn’t out of reach. Intimacy with God holds the key.
