Everything Starts with God

This is not about you.
The purpose of your life is more than the triumph of all your plans, peace of your mind or even your own happiness. This is more than your family, profession and even your highest dreams in this life time. If you want to know why you are put by God in this world then you need to start with God Himself. You are born because of His purpose and for His purpose.
Thousands of years have passed and man is still searching for the meaning of his existence. This is a big puzzle to many. The reason is because we always start our searches on the wrong place in ourselves. We are just busy trying to answer questions which are just from our own selves. One example is; what do I want to become? what do have to do in MY life? what are MY personal dreams and aspirations? what are MY personal goals in the future?
The truth is that if our concentration would only be centered on ourselves alone, we won't be able to find the real purpose of our lives. The Bible says "the Lord is the One who manages every thing but the life of each individual depends on each of us".
Contrary to what many popular books, movies and seminars are saying you won't be able to find the real purpose of your life by just starting on yourself alone. maybe you have tried doing this before. You are not the one who created yourself that's why you won't be able to declare the purpose of your existence.
If i would give you an invention that you have never seen before you won't be able to say automatically for what that specific invention is. Only the inventor of that object or it's user's manual could tell the true purpose why that specific object is created.
Once a person got lost on his way on a mountain. When he stopped in a camp he saw on the way to ask for directions they told him " you won't be able to go there by starting here, you have to start at the other way". The same, you won't be able to reach the true purpose of your life if you would start on yourself. You have to start in God, your Creator.
You were created by God for Him and unless you don't understand this your life would have no sense. Only in God can we find our origin and our identity. There is no away than this.

We are just the means and not the end. All of us are here to serve God's purpose. We do not know yet what is God's plan but we know that we all are part of it. We must do our best to make His plan a success. We are not here to question God. Whatever God does He does it for universal goodness. We can reap the benefit only if we too remain good. If we chose to remain evil we will reap the fruit of the bitter harvest. If this ever happens then we must not blame God but only ourselves.
I agree with every word you said here. Thanks for bringing up this topic. Not everyone here quest after God as you can see from number of responses. There are only few like you who have God in their thoughts.

That's true I also believe spirituality is the ultimate destination. Until you believe God, pray to him you can't find your right destination.
