I want to encourage you today that God has great purpose for your life.

You hold meaning, you hold potential, you hold everything you need to make this earth

a better place.

And I want to charge us today to just reevaluate our life and realize we are here for God's

purpose and God's glory.

You know, sometimes it's easy to feel like we're here to just go to our job, go to school,

have our friends, raise our family.

But can I tell you today, God has marked you to have an influence on this earth.

See, you're, you just being here, you being the best you can be using your gifts, using

your talents and honoring God, you're making an eternal difference.

You are causing this earth to be enriched and you are moving the kingdom of God forward.

You see, sometimes we don't appreciate what God has given us.

We don't understand this gift and the purpose that we're here for.

And I believe when we shake ourselves and we say, listen, I'm not here by accident, I'm

not here because my parents wanted a baby, I'm not here just to take up space and time

on this earth, but I'm here for an eternal reason.

My, my being here has meaning and my life matters.

You see, when God looks at you, He looks at you, like you matter.

And He wants you to take what He's given you and He wants you to mix it with faith and

He wants you to move forward on this earth.

You see, a lot of times we can't see what God has given us.

Let's just be really real.
