You were created for a purpose.

John 14:12  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.   

 What did Jesus say that we would do?  He said that we would do WORKS.  And not just any works.  If we believe on Jesus we will do the works that he did, and even greater works!   Some people stop believing right there.  They don't want to accept that the Bible says that our belief is connected to works.   The idea that our belief is connected to faith is comforting to most people.  The idea that works are connected to our belief,  causes many people to disagree with what the Bible is saying in this passage.   Do you believe on Jesus?  Than you will do  the works he did, and perhaps even greater works.    Do you realize that this is a direct quote from Jesus?    Can we take a direct quote from Jesus and decide that we don't believe that way.  Well, some people do, but that's not a good idea.

Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.

God has already ordained us that we should walk in good works.  God had a work in mind for you to do before you were even born.  God saved our soul.  How?  He saved us by our faith in Christ.  And he gives us purpose and meaning to our lives because he ordained a work for us to do since before we were even born.  Until you find your God given work and purpose in life, you will feel like there is something more that you are missing in this life.  Why?  Because you were created for a purpose.  Your soul was given an assignment from heaven.  You have something to accomplish.  Your life has a purpose, it has a meaning, there is a reason! 

Acts 13:36  For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, and was laid with his fathers, and saw corruption:

When you find the will of God for your life, you find God's purpose for your life.  God is the creator of this world.  He created every person for a distinct calling and place on this earth.  Just imagine if David had chosen not the serve the LORD, or fight Goliath, or fulfill the calling upon his life.  If he hadn't followed God's plan he would have never became the KING, nor would he be part of the lineage of Jesus.

Each of us must ask ourselves, "What am I missing out on in life because I have not found God's will and express purpose for my life." 

When you fulfill a different place in life other than what God has called you to, you will find a lack of fulfillment.  Do you notice how the word fulfill is the root word for the word fulfillment?  If  you want true fulfillment in life you must find God's purpose and calling and fulfill it.
