God had a plan for you before you were born!

I believe that God has a special purpose for each of us for which we have been uniquely equipped. We learn this in the Bible in the Apostle Paul's letter to the Ephesians. Most followers of Jesus Christ are familiar with Ephesians 2:8-9, where Paul declares we receive the salvation of God by grace through faith. Yet most followers of Christ are not familiar with Ephesians 2:10, which tells us, “We are the workmanship of Jesus Christ, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” We are created to carry out these good works that God prepared for us, even before we were born!

You are special! God uniquely shaped you for a special purpose – His purpose for your life. No one is here on earth by accident. Each of us is placed on earth by the providence of an Almighty God, who creates and sustains everyone and everything.

“Well, I’m not so sure I can buy into that,” you may be thinking.

“If God has a purpose for my life, why do I often have a sense of emptiness and meaninglessness?”

Maybe it is because you, like the vast majority of other individuals in the world, have not discovered God’s special purpose for your life.

Some people try to find a sense of significance and fulfillment in doing everything. They volunteer for every opportunity and/or say yes to every request for service. Sadly, they not only still feel unfulfilled, they also feel very tired.- Nolen Rollins
