Unfortunately, the notion of faith that emerged in the West was much more a rational assent to the truth of certain mental beliefs, rather than a calm and hopeful trust that God is inherent in all things, and that this whole thing is going somewhere good.

Without God, life has no purpose, and without purpose, life has no meaning. Without meaning, life has no significance or hope.

The search for the purpose of life has puzzled people for thousands of years. That's because we typically begin at the wrong starting point—ourselves. We ask self-centered questions like What do I want to be? What should I do with my life? What are my goals, my ambitions, my dreams for my future? But focusing on ourselves will never reveal our life's purpose.

God never does anything accidentally...

You were born by his purpose and for his purpose.

Your birth was no mistake or mishap, and your life is no fluke of nature. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. He was not at all surprised by your birth. In fact, he expected it.

Knowing your purpose gives meaning to your life.

There's a Grand Designer behind everything. Your life is not a result of random chance, fate, or luck. There is a master plan. History is His story. God is pulling the strings.

Your wisest moments will be those when you say yes to God.

Knowing your purpose motivates your life.

You didn't create yourself, so there is no way you can tell yourself what you were created for.

Knowing your purpose focuses your life.
