1. It all starts with God

It's not about you.
Focusing on ourselves will never reveal our life's purposes.
You were made by God and for God -- and until you understand that, life will never make sense.
Col 1:16
For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible... everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him.
Eph 1:11
It's in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone.
