ALL OF US LONG TO KNOW AND FULFILL OUR PURPOSE: There is a universal human longing in each of us. We want our lives to count. We know that our existence must have some meaning. Two of the great fears of humanity is that we don’t want to be unnoticed, and we don’t want to get to the end and feel like we wasted the little time we get here on this planet. The beautiful thing is that those desires are placed in us by God, and he has every intention of us living significant lives that give us satisfaction, but also make an impact on others around us.

Have you ever noticed that when you ask someone how they’re doing, how often their response includes the word “busy” or some variation of it. It’s like we wear busy as if it’s a badge of honor. The busier we are, the more important we are. We’re going to pray and ask the Holy Spirit to speak to us today, to help us listen and hear, and to bring light to where we are striving and to lead us into a life that rests in Jesus and lives out of the strength he gives us.
