The question is not whether we have a sense of divine purpose, but how we’re trying to satisfy it.
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.
But how do we become a light that shines brightly before others? The first step is making sure we choose not to live in darkness ourselves.
Jesus had a relationship with God that gave him peace, power, and purpose in a chaotic world.
When we are insecure, it can be easy to feel like we are a “nobody going nowhere.”
God uses what we are going through to give us the opportunity to build relationships and it is up to us to accept that lesson. We need to believe that God puts us right where we need to be.
With insecurity, God never responds with criticism. He responds with a purpose to live for something beyond themselves.
God’s dream is to free us from the things we feel imprisoned by. He wants us to feel comforted, confident, and happy.
Spirituality is living life with a faith that is deeply convinced God chose us to change the lives of others. Do you believe all your successes and sufferings are part of God’s shaping of your life to care for the lives of others?
