The Quest for Meaning

Every person is searching for meaning.

Every person is looking for something to tell them that their life is worth something. At the core of that desire is a Biblical truth: you matter, and your life has been designed to make a difference.

As counterintuitive as it feels, the Bible teaches that mattering in this life has very little to do with what we accumulate, achieve, or acquire. Mattering happens when a person knows they are valued and knows they have value to give.

This means that the answer to our search isn't found in what we store up for ourselves — it's discovered in what we give away.

When The Dream Isn't What I Thought It Would Look Like

For some of us, we reached what we thought was the dream, but it doesn't feel as magical as we pictured it. For some of us, it feels like the dream is constantly ever-so slightly outside of our grasp. For some of us, the dream is dormant. We've let defeat and frustration bring us to a place where giving up on the dream felt like a better option than waiting for it to happen the way we thought it was going to happen. 1 Corinthians 2:9 "But as it is written, 'No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the things that God has prepared for those who love Him.'" Not what you've prepared. Not what you've concocted. But what God has prepared for those who love Him. When you finish living out your dreams, when you finally step into what you've been called to step into, will people be talking about you or will they be talking about Him?
