What is my purpose?

Why do I exist? Why am I here in this earth?

I'm not here to pursue pleasure. I'm here to pursue God.

When we search for the wrong sorts of things,

Pastor Greg Laurie says our lives will seem out of sorts.

When you seek to fulfill the purpose,

you are created for which is to know, glorify, and worship God.

You will find the happiness you've been seeking and lying.

Not from seeking happiness, but from seeking God.

This is the day when the lost are found.

This is the day for a moment again.

Always in grace, don't we know?

Again you get a room in that room for me.

This is the day when life begins.
