What is Purpose For You?
PurposeForYou (PFY) is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping all the people of the world find their true purpose if far greater than just their personal survival, interests and accomplishments. Our Purpose is for each other to live out the golden rule that our leader Jesus taught, "Love your neighbor as yourself". At PFY, we are trying to do that very thing by ministering love and hope to the ones that we can touch through our various missions both locally and abroad (which have mainly been to the Philippines). Let us love others as ourselves; reaching one nation at a time, one city at a time, one family at a time, one person at a time, one heart at a time. 

PFY supports ministries local and abroad that share our love for the people of the world. 
What's your purpose?

We all have a God given purpose to fulfill.   Our occupation is something all of us have, but for many of us our purpose goes beyond that.  Our hearts compel us, we must do more than earn a little bread for us and are children and then die.  NO, there must be a great purpose.  PFY is an organization dedicated to the LORD Jesus for that very purpose. 

At PFY, our purpose is for Him (Jesus),
Our Purpose is For You LORD
and the ones you send us to.
God made each and every one of us for a specific and unique purpose. And that purpose gives us a target, a goal, a dream to shoot for. Without that, people wander aimlessly through life and may or may not fulfill what God's perfect plan was.  It is, of course, His number one aim that all should come to repentance and gain eternal life through the knowledge of His son,  Jesus (in Hebrew Yeshua) which name literally means salvation.   But second, it is His desire that once we have come to the knowledge of salvation, that we also fulfill His purpose for us on this earth.   We have a job to do, an assignment from Heaven.  How can we do it? 
​
That's what PurposeForYou.org is for. To help people find their purpose in life. And there is no really big secret here; that purpose is found in the love of God. You can truly know the love of God and go after God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.   And when you do that purpose will be revealed to you.   

So how do you know you are moving in the right direction?
​
Establish yourself in the love, and grace (unmerited favor) and the gift of right standing before God.   Warning: This message is so simple that if you are too smart you'll reject it.   Don't reject it because of its simplicity.   Remember that Einstein was searching for one very simple formula called the Unifying Theorem or in other words, The Theory of Everything.   He did not find it and I suspect because he was looking in the wrong place, but he believed that everything in the universe would be tied together by one simple formula.   Could it be the Unifying Theorem is not a formula, but a person?  

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God! John 1:1
The Love of God
First, truly receive how much he loves you.  He loved us, while we were in our worst state.  He died for the people that put him on the cross and loved them while they were doing it.  He said, "forgive them, father, they do not know what they do".  This is the love God has for us too, for in a sense, we all put him on the cross, for it says "while we were yet his enemies, he died for us".    Before we even cared to hear about His life, while we were in a state of superhuman selfishness, he was there for us, dying for our sins.
The Grace (Unmerited Favor) of God
Grace means Unmerited favor, in other words, this isn't something you deserve by doing good things.  You get a FREE pass to full and eternal life by simply believing in the one and only son of God, Jesus.   I know it sounds too simple and too good to be true, BUT that is why it is called the gospel or good news, which in the ancient Greek language that it was written in, literally means,  TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE news.   Jesus was asked by a man "what are the works of God so that we can do them", Jesus said, "this is the work of God, to believe on the one that he sent".
​​Be thankful
Then be thankful in every situation you find yourself in, this is God's will for your life.  When you are thankful to God(not FOR everything, but IN everything), it keeps your mind in a state of perfect harmony with God and literally brings you into His presence.   In this state, you will overlook every offense and thus keep bad seeds from being planted in your heart.  Bad seeds produce bad fruits.  Protect your heart from bad seeds and receive the good seeds from the precious word of God ​through the preaching of the word from those that truly believe in the wonder and power of God displayed through Jesus the Messiah.  Stay away from those that preach a message that puts all the burden on you to be good in order to gain Gods favor.  That is the anti-gospel.  That's not good news, but really bad news and the reason why so many have become discouraged and walked away from God.   We all know deep in our hearts that we wouldn't stand before God on our own goodness.  IF we do we are self-deceived.  The book says there is none the does good, NO, not one.   That is exactly why we needed a savior and God showed up.
​
The Right Standing Before God
Know second, that by accepting His Son, you receive FREELY the gift of right standing with God.   This gift of righteousness is something akin to family security.  When you were born into your family, there is nothing that can take it away.  You didn't earn it, it was given to you automatically.  In the same way, when you are born-again by accepting the simple message, you are given the rights of a family member in the household of God.  This is a FREE gift and therefore cannot be taken away ONCE YOU receive it.  How do you receive it?  Again, very simply believe in the son of God who takes away the sin of the world.
Avoid the religious trappings of men
Don't get bogged down in all sorts of religious teaching that focuses on what you need to do for God and those churches that want to control your every move.   Should we want to do good and please God, of course, yes?  But if our focus is on our "goodness" it is not the good news.  Instead, learn about how good God is and how he displayed that in the life of Jesus.  Learn how much He loves you and wants the best for you and that our God is a good father and only gives good gifts.  Reject the religious teaching that blames God for everything, God only gives good things.  Is there evil in the world? Yes, there is, but it is not from God but from the rejection of God by men whom God has put in charge of the earth for a time period.  In the meantime, he has given us all we need to overcome every evil in our lives through the gift of God in Jesus our Savior.
Don't stop there
Now go after God with all your heart, soul and mind.  Dive into His Word and ask him what he wants you to do.  If you want to see how the early church did it, read the Gospel of John and the book of Acts and the following books in the bible.  This will give you greater confidence and boldness to see how the fathers of our faith got started.  It may surprise you how far many modern churches are from the 1st-century leaders.  If you are looking for a good church in your area, we can try to help, but better yet, simply ask God in prayer to direct you to the local body of believers that truly walk in the simple loving ways of God through faith in Jesus.

Summary
​
So that's how you get started on the journey of a lifetime is ahead and boasts of great adventures in a increasingly complex world, but WITH GOD, all things are possible and as Jesus said, "in this world you will have trouble, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world".  God has a solution for every problem you will ever face.  The one thing you need to know.
Your purpose is the same as our purpose and is summed up by one statement in the bible.  It is very simple,  FEAR GOD AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. And what are his commandments? Love God AND prove it by loving others the way the Jesus loved His disciples! How did he love them? You'll need to read the bible to find out.
