What Is Purpose
Have you ever asked the questions, “What am I supposed to be doing?” or “Where am I going?” You are most certainly not alone. All this month, we are asking and gaining answers to these questions, which all lead to purpose.
Purpose can simply be defined as, the reason for which something is done or created. This is so very powerful. As we were setting up to record the podcast for this topic, our we asked our daughter what she thought the word purpose meant. She responded, “it’s not an accident.”
This is so amazing because we are carefully and wonderfully created, not by chance, but through the eyes of our Creator, on purpose, by purpose, for purpose. Everything that we are doing in our lives should have intent that is pushing us towards our purpose. Every relationship and interaction that we invest our time in should move us toward our expected outcome.

We all face challenges and have responsibilities that can seem as more of a burden than part of our purpose. One example is to liken the promise to football. Crazy but stay with us! You are on a winning team. No matter what, the final score with be 41-0. So, when it looks like you had a fumble, and incomplete pass, maybe even an injury, don’t allow the enemy to scare you away, because you win!
This Promise is found in Romans 8:28, “And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose!
We encourage you to listen to this week’s podcast to hear the entirety so that you can begin to walk in your purpose. Don’t forget the corresponding booklet on Purpose is available on our website.
