A Life of Purpose

Do you ever recognize a reoccurring theme in your life, to the point that it makes you realize that God is trying so communicate something important to you? A recent series of events have me thinking a lot about living a life of purpose. Not a life that is busy just for the sake of it, but a life that is full of service, sacrifice, love, and intention. I find myself dedicating so much time and thought to things that just don't matter, and I'm beginning to realize that if I continue to live this way, I'm going to find myself at the end with so much unfulfilled potential and so many lost opportunities. Less peace, more unhappiness. Less meaning, more regret.  And I've realized that the only way that we can find and then fulfill our purpose, the only way that we can ensure that we're maximizing our potential, is by giving ourselves over to Him. I believe that through our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, not only can we find exactly what it is that we are here to do, we can also be given the strength to then do it, no matter how challenging or impossible or burdensome it may seem. And for that, I'm so grateful.
