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.
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.”
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.
When we experience testing, pain and failure in our lives, it is easy to give into fear and doubt. “Flipping the Switch” is about learning to let God use our personal passion, ambition, dreams, pain, and setbacks for his greater purpose of saving lives.
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?
