It seems like I’ve been asking the same question for a long time: "What is God’s will for my life?" I’ve waited months - perhaps even years - without a clear answer. I've asked Him many times.
This question opens the door to a host of other questions: Where do I work? What projects do I take on? Who do I say 'yes' to? Who do I say 'no' to? Who do I choose to spend time with?
The list could be endless, and I don't usually come up with any answers.
"Does God really care for me?" That's a question that inevitably comes up for me when I continue down that path.
I was created by God, in His image, and surely there is a purpose for me. He blessed me with the talents I have, and he is excited about me. Even knowing this, I was confronted with the same question.
However, the clouds started to part when I stopped to ask "What is God's will?" instead of "What is God's will for me?" the floodgates suddenly opened. God's will is for people to come to Jesus. God's will is to heal broken people. It seems so obvious now.
The question is "What can I do to bring people to Jesus?", not "What is the meaning of my life?"

I won’t ever win a humility contest. I don’t know if they have those,
giving someone an award for being humble, probably defeats the purpose of
humility....
