The question is not whether we have a sense of divine purpose, but how we’re trying to satisfy it.
When we get our happiness from God, we want to share that happiness with others.
When we have the certainty that God loves us completely for who we are, we can be satisfied no matter what.
This parable will help us understand what it feels like to be lost and how God responds to that feeling by always trying to bring us home.
Transparency is one of the best weapons we have against the loneliness the world around us is experiencing.
When we are insecure, it can be easy to feel like we are a “nobody going nowhere.”
God wants us to have friends we can be completely ourselves with, but this can only happen if we let go of control.
With insecurity, God never responds with criticism. He responds with a purpose to live for something beyond themselves.
