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.
Building a relationship with God means that we have a lifelong opportunity to start over every day
God wants us to evaluate ourselves by how deep and strong our faith is. He doesn’t evaluate our spiritual condition by looking at how we appear on the surface. The depth of our faith determines how much of a difference we can make in the lives of those around us.
God orchestrates the people we encounter and the relationships we build, so that he can use us to change lives.
When we are insecure, it can be easy to feel like we are a “nobody going nowhere.”
Is your faith strong enough to inspire the next generation?
There is no doubt that this world is changing, but it is up to each of us to decide and influence how it changes.
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.
Jesus had a mission! Everything he did in his life fit into the mission God had for him. Do you know your mission? Jesus accomplished his mission. Are you accomplishing that mission?
Each of us was given a destiny. God chose our talents, our passions, our abilities, our strengths, and our weaknesses all before we were even born. Our destiny is not just about us.
