Purpose

Even when God feels silent, He is never absent — He's writing a story that only makes sense looking back, in the rearview mirror rather than through the front windshield. Like Esther, we're invited to step past our hesitation and join what God is already doing, not because He needs us, but because He wants us.

The popular advice "you can be anything you want to be" sounds encouraging but isn't true and can even be harmful. Scripture shows we are God's handiwork, created for good works He planned in advance — our job is not to invent our purpose but to discover it, and God reveals it as we grow in spiritual maturity.

God has a different, specific path for each person's life, so comparing your path to someone else's will never be fair and was never meant to be. Pastor Linn shows that comparison distances us from God and steals our gratitude, while trusting God's unique story for us — and turning our blessings toward others — sets us free to enjoy the life He's actually given us.
