I Was Born for This: the Purpose of Life

We struggle with the fact that infants and young children die.  We struggle with the fact that life is hard and unjust.  If we are a child of God, we believe that we should live a blessed life and enjoy all the best that life has to offer. We cannot understand why God would allow such evil and destruction to take place in the world. The problem with our thinking is that we think life here on earth is our perfect gift from God.


I struggled with difficulties and heartbreak in my life and turned to the Bible in my attempt to learn what I needed to do to make the hurt and unhappiness go away. As I studied God’s Word I realized that I was totally mistaken about the purpose of my life here on earth. I saw God’s purpose for creating our world and why He allowed evil and sin to enter into the world. I understood why He created me and what He wants me to do with my life. I have written this book to share my understanding of the purpose of life and the true perfect gift that God has prepared for us.
