I chased after purpose before I received eternal life and found that not even achieving my greatest goals gave me fulfllment
I always had a goal that I thought would bring me happiness. I always desired to travel around the world and thought this would bring me the desired fulfillment I was after.
I remember standing at the top of a viewing platform of a palace in Austria thinking 'ther ehad to be more to life than this...
Before I received eternal life I felt empty and chased after things that never gave me fulfllment. I lived a 'party' life thinking I would gain satisfaction, but that satisfaction was only short lived.
Then, I received eternal life.
After I received eternal life I felt as though a void had been filled. Now I know I don't have to chase after the next big experience.
Now I know I have purpose. I know there is a plan for my life. When making life changing decision I feel assured that God is guiding me. Recently when I changed jobs, I felt secure in my choices. Before I received eternal life I had trouble seeing purpose in the things I was doing. Now I know the purpose.
I also know for sure that I have eternal life and am going to heaven when I die.
