Your Purpose: It's always the right time to find your purpose, and share it with others.

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

A purpose and living a purpose-driven life by faith involves a commitment to personal spiritual growth, nurturing your family’s faith, and positively impacting your community. By aligning your actions with your beliefs and values, you can strengthen your faith and inspire others to do the same. This approach ensures that your life reflects God’s purpose, bringing fulfillment and making a lasting difference.

Romans 12:3-8
"For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully."

Some gifts, such as singing or athletics, are easy to recognize, but many others are not. By seeking God's guidance and expressing gratitude for His grace, He will reveal your divine talents, helping you find happiness and effortlessly fulfill your purpose.
