You Were Made for More

"For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." –Ephesians 2:10

Have you ever laid in bed at night, staring at the ceiling, asking yourself, "Is this it?" Maybe you've poured yourself into parenting, your job, your church, your responsibilities–but something still feels unfinished deep inside. You wonder if your life is really making a difference. If the daily grind has drowned out your "why."

You're not alone in that feeling.

So many of us carry the weight of wanting our lives to matter. To feel significant. To know that we're not just here to go through the motions.

But here's the truth: You are significant. Not because of what you do, but because of who created you. You are the handiwork of the living God. Formed with intention. Filled with potential. Covered in grace.

Your purpose isn't a secret God is hiding from you–it's something He gently reveals as you walk with Him. Sometimes we think purpose is this one big moment–starting a business, publishing a book, launching a ministry. But most often purpose looks like faithfulness in the ordinary. Purpose looks like showing up–again and again–when it's hard. Purpose looks like loving people when it's inconvenient. It looks like praying when no one's watching. It looks like choosing obedience when no one else understands.

Your purpose isn't about the platform. It's about impact.

And the greatest impact you'll ever make may not be seen by thousands–it may be the quiet difference you make in one life.

So if you're questioning your worth or your path today, take heart. God isn't finished with your story. In fact, He's just getting started. He's working behind the scenes. Every tear you've cried, every step you've taken, every act of love that felt unseen–He saw it all. And none of it was wasted.

You were made on purpose.

With a purpose.

For a purpose.

And that purpose is wrapped up in Him.

Prayer:

God, when I feel small or unsure of why I'm here, remind me that I am Your masterpiece– created with care and called with intention. Show me how to live with purpose today, even in the everyday moments. Help me not miss the ways You're already working in and through my life. Use me, Lord, for whatever brings You the most glory. I surrender my plans to Your hands. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Reflection: Have I been tying my purpose to performance or comparison?

Where might God be using me already–in ways I've overlooked?

What steps can I take to trust Him more deeply with the direction of my life?
