Your life's purpose is about love, because God is love (1 John 4:8). God made you to love you; He made you to love Him. Your relationship with God may simply be described by this one word, love. That's the key word for purpose in your life. Love is so important, because it tells you who God is. Your life is about love, because God loves you.
The Spirit of God enables you to experience God's love in your heart. That experience comes through the good news of God's love in our Lord Jesus Christ. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him (1 John 4:9). The love of God comes through the Son of God.
God wants you to love others. God can make you a channel of His love to anyone and everyone. Some people may not read a Bible to know of God's love. Yet, God's love for them through you can change their lives. No, you cannot change their lives, but God's love through you can. Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God (1 John 4:7).
God wants you to love yourself. That may sound strange to some people. Certainly, God does not want you to be selfish, self-centered, nor narcissistic. Loving yourself agrees with God, because He loves you. Listen to these words from the Bible: You shall love your neighbor as yourself (Leviticus 19:18). Your life's purpose is loving God and others as yourself.
