We are here to live out God’s purposes, whatever they look like in our lives. We need to know God through the bible, through prayer and through talking with our Christian brothers and sisters to work out what God’s purposes look like in our lives and to be able to keep focusing our eyes on what is ahead. Our purpose is not our happiness and let’s not take the bible out of context to say so because that can lead us down some dangerous paths. Instead of focusing on ourselves, let’s abandon ourselves to focus on Him.
