"What am I supposed to do with my life?"

Of all the questions I’ve ever heard, I believe that this one (or some variation of it) is the most important question of all. It seems to be hardwired into us from birth to start a search for some kind of significance. Despite our vast and varied experience and cultures, we as human being as unified by a universal desire to find our purpose and a desperate need to discover our destiny.

I believe that this desire for destiny is placed within us by our Creator. In their purest form, all desires are given to us by God and He also provides a holy and perfect means for fulfilling our desires, but the world is all too eager to offer us cheap imitations that have the potential to numb our spiritual senses and ultimately poison our minds, bodies and souls. Remember in the quest to find your God-given destiny, God will never call you to do anything that would compromise your integrity. You will be tempted to take ethical short-cuts to get to where you believe God wants you to be and then convincing yourself that the ends justify the means, but God will always honor the moral high road. Keep trusting Him to lead you to the right destination and be patient (that's the part I struggle with the most).

He is in control and regardless of the details of vocation, marriage, education, and other big life decisions, God's ultimate intention for your life is for you to have a relationship with Him through His Son, Jesus Christ. Everything else must flow out of that. Without that relationship, we're just spinning our wheels on a path that leads nowhere.
