Your Question:

Can I still have a purpose if I'm not working?

Answer:

I believe that having a purpose in life is not solely tied to our profession or work. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with depression, and I've come to realize that our purpose in life is not just about achieving a certain goal, but about living a life that honors God. When we focus on God's purpose for our lives, we begin to understand that our purpose is not just about what we do, but about who we are in Christ.

As I reflect on my own life, I've come to realize that my purpose is not just about my work as a pastor, but about being a husband to Susan and a father to Joshua and Rebecca. It's about serving God and serving others, and living a life that brings glory to Him. I believe that everyone has a purpose in life, and it's not just about what we do, but about why we do it. When we understand God's purpose for our lives, we begin to live with a sense of direction and meaning.

In my experience, I've seen that people often get caught up in trying to find their purpose in life, but they forget that God's purpose is not just about what we achieve, but about who we are in Him. When we focus on God's purpose, we begin to see that our lives are not just about reaching a certain goal, but about living a life that brings joy and fulfillment to God. As I've learned to focus on God's purpose for my life, I've found that I'm able to live with a sense of purpose and direction, even when I'm not working.
