Why We Are Here
We make it harder than it is. We spend years chasing answers as if they are hiding in some far-off place we have never looked. But the truth is woven into us the whole time. Our purpose was never meant to be a puzzle. It is the noise around us that makes it feel hidden.
We are here to live in a way that reflects the One who gave us breath. Not as copies of each other and not as people who move without thought, but as living proof that love, truth, and choice can exist in the same space. Every day we are given moments to choose light over shadow, to give instead of take, to build instead of tear down. And each choice leaves a mark, not just on us but on the whole story being written.
We are here to walk by faith in the One who gave us life and to trust His Word even when we cannot see the full picture. It is easy to believe when everything is clear, but faith is proven when we choose it in the dark. Every test we face is another chance to prove that we know who we belong to and that we trust the One who holds the end from the beginning.
We are not here to collect things that vanish when we do. We are not here to impress the blind crowds who cannot see what matters. We are here to grow what was planted in us from the start. The seeds of truth, the capacity to love without false condition, the courage to stand when the world tells you to bow. That is the real work.
And yes, it is work. Growth takes effort. Purpose does not run on autopilot. The same way a garden needs tending, your inner ground needs care. You have to clear the weeds, feed the roots, and keep showing up even when nothing seems to be breaking through the soil yet.
We are here to remember that we came from something greater than ourselves and that we are headed back there. This life is not random and it is not meaningless. It is a proving ground. A place to learn the weight of choice and the depth of love. A place to walk out what it means to be given the freedom to choose and to choose well.
In the end, the purpose is not hidden at all. It is to take the breath we were given and live in a way that honors the One who gave it, trusting His Word as the only foundation that will stand. That is why we are here. And that is why each moment matters more than we think.
