Discover Your Redemptive Purposeਨਮੂਨਾ

You Were Made With Purpose
Because your story was never random—it’s redemptive.

You were made with care. Every part of you was designed on purpose and with love.

Maybe you’ve heard that before, but today I want to speak it over you like it’s brand new. If you’ve ever struggled to believe your life holds meaning or that your presence matters in the world—this is where we begin.

Before you took your first breath, God saw you. The fullness of you—your compassion, your creativity, your questions, your grit, your softness, your story. He saw it all and was pleased. Not one detail was accidental. You were lovingly, precisely, and personally crafted by the God Who Sees.

Psalm 139 tells us you were “knit together”—a picture of closeness and intention. Ephesians 2 says you are God’s “workmanship,” created to do good things that He dreamed up ahead of time just for you. And in Jeremiah 29, God speaks to people in exile, people who probably felt uncertain, stuck, or forgotten. He tells them, “I know the plans I have for you”—words spoken to a community, but ones that carry personal truth. Even in unfamiliar places, His purpose for them hadn’t changed. The same is true for you.

You were created by El-Roi—the God Who Sees.

That name comes from Hagar, a woman who had been rejected and pushed aside. But God met her in the wilderness, called her by name, and reminded her that she mattered. In return, she named Him El-Roi: the God Who Sees. Because to be seen like that—fully, and loved regardless—changes something in us.

You are seen like that too. Not for what you produce or perform, but for who you are and who you’re becoming.

And that’s where your redemptive purpose begins.

Your redemptive purpose is the specific way you were created to partner with God to bring hope, healing, and restoration into the world. It’s not about earning significance or doing more. It’s about joining God in what He’s already doing—bringing light into places that need it. That can happen through the stories you carry, the gifts you use, the people you care about, the beauty you create.

Even if you can’t name it yet, the clues are already there. That ache in your heart. That thing you keep noticing. That dream you quietly carry. Over the next seven days, we’ll pay attention together. You’ll begin to recognize how God has already been planting seeds of purpose in you and how He’s inviting you to grow into them.

But for today, I want you to take this to heart:

You were made on purpose.
And God is inviting you to live like it.

Today’s Step

Set aside ten quiet minutes today—just you and God. No pressure to perform. Simply be still.
Then ask:

“God, what do You see in me that reflects Your heart?”

Write down three words or phrases that rise to the surface. Don’t judge them. Just receive them.

Closing Prayer

God, thank You for creating me with care and calling me with love. I want to see what You see. Quiet the noise that makes me question my value, and help me hear Your voice. Let this be the beginning of something new—not just understanding what I’m here to do, but remembering who I’ve always been to You. Amen.
