Part 1: Created with Purpose – A Profound Truth That Changes Everything

Have you ever stopped to think about how significant it is that you exist? Out of all the millions of squiggles, you are here because you won. That’s right, you were born a winner right out of the womb! That’s no accident. You were created with purpose, hand-crafted by God. This simple yet profound truth can shift everything about how we see our lives and how we live each day.

Let’s unpack this in a way that empowers you to live boldly in the confidence of God’s intentional blueprint for your life.

You Are God’s Masterpiece

David, the ancient king of Israel, knew this truth intimately when he wrote, “You created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:13-14). You were not thrown together on an assembly line. God, the ultimate Artist, specifically crafted every detail about you. This is not just poetic language; it’s the reality of your existence.

Paul reinforces this in Ephesians 2:10, declaring, “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Let that sink in: you are a masterpiece. God’s handiwork. Designed with intention and deep meaning.

The Enemy’s Plan: Rob Your Purpose

But here’s the catch—the enemy knows your purpose is powerful. And if he can’t take it away from you, he’ll work overtime to convince you it doesn’t exist. Look around at our world today. Rates of hopelessness, depression, and despair are soaring. Why? Because when people lose sight of their God-given purpose, life begins to feel meaningless. People search everywhere to fill the void but come up empty time and time again.

Hopelessness is not just a byproduct of bad circumstances; it’s the fingerprints of an enemy who wants to keep us from realizing the truth of our worth and calling. But we have the power to fight back. Simply knowing and believing that God created us for purpose is a shield against these lies.

Your Life Matters—Right Here, Right Now

Every time you feel small, every time doubt creeps in, remind yourself of this: God doesn’t create accidents. He doesn’t waste time. And He didn’t make a mistake when He made you. Whether you’re in a season of challenges or a season of blessings, your purpose remains constant: to love God and to love others (Matthew 22:37-39). These are the pillars of a life lived fully in step with His design.

Don’t overcomplicate your calling. Your life is all about loving God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength and loving others with bold compassion. It’s simple to understand but harder to live out at times.

In the next part of this series, we’ll explore how to uncover and live out your purpose in practical ways. But for now, take this truth with you: You are God’s masterpiece, and your life is bursting with purpose.

Let this be the year of you breaking down the lies of the enemy and leaning into God’s purpose for your life!
