I do believe we all have a specific and predetermined purpose for which we were created. It is our responsibility to discover that purpose and not decide what it is. The search for a purpose for life makes a lot of sense if we believe that God created us and as we seek him through our relationship with Him, we will find Him and in turn find why He put us here.
Well said…and as I have considered the many comments I have received, including yours, I know now that God put us here to glorify Him by doing the good works He prepared before we were ever created and giving Him all praise and thanks for the wonderful abilities each of us have.
Good question. I’m bound to believe that the influential people who strive for the things they think matter in life think they have a purpose, but do they really?
okay let me clarify something…I couldn’t like your comment not because I didn’t like your comment, but because wordpress wasn’t letting me click on the little “like” star thingy. It appears to have fixed itself. – thanks for your comment.
I Refuse To Follow Your Blog (irtfyblog) 
It’s a serious topic, I know but the way you dead panned it made me laugh out loud. Maybe that was your purpose for today?

Of course you don’t have a purpose. I don’t have one either – that’s why we need God to give us one. 😉

I don’t think I like that purpose, but if that’s our purpose, then I guess we have to live it.

Well, if you aren’t going to serve as a good example, could you at least serve
as a good warning?
Take heart, your mere existence probably annoys somebody
and that can make it all worthwhile. 😉

So I should make it my purpose to annoy that person?
I like it!
Now I just have to find that person. 😉
