Focusing on ourselves will never reveal our life's purpose.

You didn't create yourself, so there is no way you can tell yourself what you were created for.

Becoming like Christ is a long, slow process of growth.

You've got a lot to look forward to in Heaven. Compared to what's in store for you in Heaven, your current pain and problems are petty.

Well, in the first place, military service, they don't call it service for nothing. You are actually serving your country. And it is a worthy and valid vocation.

It’s not about you. The purpose of your life is far greater than your own personal fulfillment, your peace of mind, or even your happiness. It’s far greater than your family, your career, or even your wildest dreams and ambitions. If you want to know why you were placed on this planet, you must begin with God. You were born by his purpose and for his purpose.

Whenever you serve others in any way, you are actually serving God.
