Thicker Than WaterNäide

Have you ever gotten into a situation where you compared your situation or life to someone famous or influential? Often, when we compare ourselves to others, we minimize our own potential and forget our own purpose and gifts, because we try to live up to someone else’s instead.

God has created all of us with care, and given all of us a purpose, exactly where we are. You can think of your family or the people you live with as the people you can begin to love and serve, right here and right now. Our lives and our purpose are big, right here, right now, because God has put us right here, right now.

Today, reflect on what purpose God has given you in life and how that impacts the people in your family. Then live out the purpose God has given to all of us: to love other people.
