Your Life Has a Purpose

Each of us has a purpose for being alive, and for being who we are. God has a plan for us, there is structure, order, and reasons for why we are here.

President Spencer W. Kimball, twelfth prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, said:

"God does nothing by chance but always by design as a loving father.... We have purpose also in our lives.

"Surely such a loving Father in heaven, who gave commandments to prevent human misery, will not forget the needs of each of his children. William Law observed:

"'It is said that the very hairs of your head are all numbered; is it not to teach us that nothing, not the smallest things imaginable, happen to us by chance? But if the smallest things we can conceive are declared to be under the divine direction, need we, or can we, be more plainly taught that the greatest things of life, such as the manner of our coming into the world, our parents, the time, and other circumstances of our birth and condition, are all according to the eternal purposes, direction, and appointment of Divine Providence?'" ("There Is Purpose in Life," New Era, Sep 1974, 4)

You have a purpose! Your life isn't just some random event or some result of chance. God has a plan for you- and He knows and loves you.
