Description
We have lost our way. Many people struggle to
fi nd not just who they are but where they're
going. Today the choices are seemingly
endless and vast, making the discovery of one's purpose
more confusing and diffi cult. Or so it may seem. Men
and women are able to choose from so much more of
what the world can off er. As a result, people often fi nd
that what they choose may be practical but not fulfi lling.
We often choose what will bring us the most income
and fi nancial rewards, which is indeed important, but
often at the expense of our passions and dreams-if we
even know what our passions and dreams are. People
are seeking happiness, when what they really want is
peace and contentment. Happiness is circumstantial
and fleeting. Peace and contentment are sustainable
and are developed through meeting our core longing for
purpose. Codes of relativism and situational ethics have
especially clouded our sense of purpose. Yet, there is an
answer for us to return to our true sense of purpose. With
standards comes a strong, stable sense of direction. Th e
more we distance ourselves from God, the less we know
ourselves, and the more confused we are. Th e reason for
our existence, as God has designed, is directly tied to our
purpose. Come and explore, and let the truth set you free!
