Your Question:

can i find a new sense of purpose?

Answer:

As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with finding their purpose in life. But I believe that our purpose is not something we discover, but rather something we're created for. According to Scripture, our purpose is to glorify God and enjoy Him. This is a God-oriented purpose, not a self-oriented one. When we focus on glorifying God, we'll find that our lives take on a sense of meaning and direction.

But how do we discover God's purpose for our lives? The answer is not to try to figure it out on our own, but to seek Him and His guidance. We must be willing to confess our own purposes and desires, and ask God to reveal His plan for us. As we seek Him, we'll begin to see our lives in a new light, and we'll be changed by the power of the Spirit. This is not a one-time event, but a daily process of growing and being transformed by God.

As I reflect on my own life, I realize that my purpose is not just about achieving certain goals or accomplishing specific tasks. It's about living a life that's surrendered to God and focused on His glory. My wife Susan and I have been married for 19 years, and we've seen our children Joshua and Rebecca grow and develop their own purposes and passions. As a family, we're committed to seeking God's purpose and living it out together. And as I look to the future, I'm excited to see how God will continue to guide and direct us.
