Minister’s Corner: Why am I here?

Have you ever wondered why you are here on earth? Have you ever felt insignificant or unimportant at best? Many of us have at one time or another, however, God gives us great encouragement. Jeremiah 1:5 says, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you...” Those words God spoke to Jeremiah apply to us today. If you have ever felt like you didn’t belong or your life was without purpose, take great encouragement from these words.

God knows we are here because He created us. He knew you were going to go through the situations you have had to go through. The truly amazing thing is when life is difficult and seems meaningless, we can know God created us; and since God created us, he has a wonderful plan and purpose for our lives. When we dedicate ourselves to his plan and ways, we can truly find he fulfillment in the life He intends to provide for all of us.
