Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a blessing and share it with a friend.

We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life.

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, 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 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.

You know, sometimes we can't see the gifts and talents.

We can look at other people and we can see how they excel.
