God Isn't Pressuring You to Be Productive, He's Inviting You to Be Purposeful

The laundry is still unfolded, the emails unanswered, the to-do list undone.

I sigh and ask myself, “Have I been productive at all today?”

Anxiety and accusations are the only response. So I pray, “God, what lie am I believing? And what’s the truth that replaces it?” This is a new habit I’m practicing. It’s uncomfortable and hard.

Yet in that quiet moment, it seems my heart hears a reassuring whisper . . .

Life isn’t about being productive. It’s about being purposeful.

I’ve often believed the lie that God’s first priority is what I can produce. But I’m learning that just because something doesn’t have tangible results, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t have eternal impact.

I’m no longer going to ask myself whether I’ve been productive. Instead, I’m going to ask, “Have I been purposeful today?”

Being purposeful is about living in love. Sometimes love looks like laundry or answering emails and checking off what’s on my to-do list. Those are good and worthy things. But sometimes love looks like the exact opposite, like I haven't done much at all. It feels quiet, hidden, and small. That’s okay too.

Here's what I'm learning: Our work doesn’t determine our worth. Our accomplishments don’t earn us divine acceptance. Our value isn’t validated by our hustle. We are already and always loved.

God isn't pressuring you to be productive today, he's inviting you to be purposeful for a lifetime.

God, thank you that I have nothing to prove today because my identity and destiny are secure in you forever. Amen.
