What is my Meaning and Purpose?

You may have recently been searching for meaning and purpose. You may have asked yourself , “What was I made to do?” or “ Why am I here?”

All humans need purpose and meaning in their life. Finding purpose and meaning is what makes us move on through each day and what pushes us through the hard times in our lives.

What is the difference between Meaning and Purpose in life?

Meaning is defined as, “a sense or significance”  – meaning feeling like we matter and what we do matters in the world.

Purpose is defined as, ” the reason for which something exists”- meaning the reason we are here.

How can we find Meaning?

We must ask the Holy Spirit to help guide us when trying to find our meaning. That meaning for you may be something like joining a church group or helping those in need. The Holy Spirit may also lead you to do something life changing like switching your career. Wherever he takes you, he is doing so to further his kingdom in some way. You may never know exactly how or why, but he will place you where he needs you if you ask him.

Where can we find Purpose?

Jesus is where you can find purpose. Finding our purpose in him will make us whole. That does not mean that our lives will be perfect or without struggles; it means that we have a steadfast leader, helper, friend, confidant, and Savior to help us.

In Mathew 5:14-15 it says, “You are the light of the world–like a city on a mountain, glowing in the night for all to see. Don’t hide your light under a basket! Instead put it on a stand and let it shine for all.” Our purpose is to let the world see the love of Jesus through us.
