How Do I Find My Purpose in Life?

Do you ever wonder how to find your purpose? Many of us ask, “Why am I here? What is the meaning of it all?” Today’s Faith Friday episode explores this profound internal question. We’ll dive into the core of our existence, offering insight into uncovering and fulfilling your life’s purpose.

The Search for Purpose

Statistics show that 57% of people in the US are actively seeking more meaning and purpose in their lives. Moreover, only 10% claim to know their life’s purpose, with a mere 5% living in alignment with it. This suggests that most people feel adrift, wanting a clearer sense of purpose.

The Quest for Meaning – A Universal Experience

You’re not alone if you’re grappling with how to find your purpose. Even King Solomon, renowned as the wisest man in biblical history, faced existential questions. In Ecclesiastes 2:9-11, Solomon reflects on the vanity of his worldly accomplishments despite his immense wealth and wisdom.

Ecclesiastes 2:9-11 NLT  9. So I became greater than all who had lived in Jerusalem before me, and my wisdom never failed me. 10. Anything I wanted, I would take. I denied myself no pleasure. I even found great pleasure in hard work, a reward for all my labors. 11. But as I looked at everything I had worked so hard to accomplish, it was all so meaningless—like chasing the wind. There was nothing really worthwhile anywhere.

Every Human’s Foundational Purpose

It is my profound belief the foundational purpose for every human being is to know and enjoy God and to reflect His glory through life. We are fearfully and wonderfully made, as stated in Psalm 139.

Just as a pen’s purpose is to write, every human’s purpose is to know, enjoy, and reflect God. While our talents, gifts, and roles may differ, this fundamental purpose remains constant.

The Two Facets of Human Purpose

There are dual aspects of human purpose. First, it’s about developing a profound relationship with God, not merely acquiring facts about Him. This relationship should be dynamic and growth-oriented. Second, our purpose extends to reflecting God’s image through our various life assignments.

For example, I’m a speaker, pastor, relationship coach, mother, wife, friend, and business owner. While these are assignments, none are my sole purpose. Instead, they provide opportunities to know, enjoy, and reflect God in diverse ways.

Unlocking Meaning and Fulfillment:

I encourage you to identify your life assignments and how to use them to deepen your relationship with God and reflect His image. This unlocks a profound sense of purpose and imbues life with meaning.
