We ask self-centered questions like What do I went to be ? What should I do with my life ? What are my goals, my ambitions, my dreams for my future ? But focusing on ourselves will never reveal our lifes purpose. The Bble says, it is God who directs the lives His creatures; everyones life is in His power. It is only in God that we discover our origin, our identity, our meaning, our purpose, our significance, and our destiny. Every other path leads to dead end. Many people try to use God for their own self-actualization, but that is a reversal of nature and is doomed to failure. You were made for God, not God for and life is about letting God use you for His purpose, not you using Him for your purpose. The Bible says, Obsession with self in these matters is a dead end; attention to God leads us out into the open, into spacious, free life.
