A purpose-filled life is a life of knowing who you are. It's not what you do, but who you are and who you are destined to be. Gaining a true understanding of who you are and what's your purpose can bring great satisfaction, worthiness, and gratification. Living a purpose-filled life can contribute to a significant amount of happiness, and quality of life. When we know our purpose and who we are, we no longer live by the terms of others, but we can be true to our own identity completely embracing all that God has destined us to be in him. Our identity is not found in the world, but in who God called us to be. Before we were born God had a plan for us to do good works. We were created on purpose for a purpose." For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."( Ephesians 2:10)
How to find your purpose
Finding your purpose is not something you do it's who you are. You're born with your purpose. Everyone has a purpose. God has a plan and purpose for our lives. We are to use our gifts and talents to make a difference in the world. So, that we may bring glory to God. We are not here on earth to merely exist but to fulfill a higher calling that was purposed for us before creation. Our identity and the joy we experience in ourselves and this life is tied to who we are and our purpose in Christ. God has created us with a hope and future that can only be found in him alone. No external factors can fulfill what is already in us to unleash into the world to fulfill what God has already purposed us to do. For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ( Jeremiah 29:11)
Why is purpose so important?
Only you can do what you are purposed in the earth to do. No two people are the same, we all have our unique bent. Therefore, what you are called and purposed to do is uniquely designed for you to do. God created you specifically to answer a call in the earth that you were predestined for. There may be a need and in God's purpose and plans, the solutions are tied to your destiny. You were set apart for a time such as this. You may not think that you matter or that you have a purpose, but God created and gifted you with greatness to make a difference in the world. "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." ( Romans 8:28)

Your purpose matters
I hope that you were encouraged knowing that you are important and that your purpose matters. God truly does have a plan and a purpose for your life. Everything takes time, but if he said it surely he will bring it to pass. "The LORD Almighty has sworn, "Surely, as I have planned, so it will be, and as I have purposed, so it will happen." ( Isaiah 14:24) May you continue to grow and be encouraged in the LORD, as you fulfill your purpose.
