Why Am I Here?

Aug 18, 2024    Jantzen Louder

We explored the profound question 'Why am I here?' through the lens of God's calling on our lives. The stories of Joseph and David illuminate how our purpose is determined by our Creator, not by others or our own limitations. Just as Joseph's dreams and David's anointing revealed glimpses of their futures, we too have a divine calling that may transcend our current circumstances or others' expectations. We're reminded that our calling comes from God alone, and we must resist the temptation to compare our purpose to others or let past mistakes define us. Instead, we're encouraged to embrace our unique role in building God's kingdom, trusting His timing even when our path seems unclear.
