May we be passionate in sharing God's love, recognizing that there is no other name under heaven by which people can be saved. Let us rise as laborers for the plentiful harvest, for the fields are indeed white and ready.
Remember the words of Jesus in Luke 10:2: "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore, pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest."

Today, as we seek to understand our own purpose, let us remember the words of Jeremiah: "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11). God has a unique purpose for each one of us, a purpose filled with hope and a future.
Let us embrace our calling with faith and determination, knowing that, like Noah, Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Esther, and Peter, we are born for a purpose. It is our faith and trust in God's plan that will guide us to fulfill that purpose, to the glory of Jesus name.

In our Christian journey, we often encounter barriers, whether they are physical, emotional, or spiritual. These barriers can obstruct our path to knowing God more deeply. But we must learn from the four friends who tore the roof off to bring their friend to Jesus. We must pray with desperation, as David did, and seek the Lord's presence as our top priority.
So, let us tear down the barriers of doubt, fear, and complacency. Let us tear down the walls that keep us from passionate prayer and the pursuit of His presence. Let us tear the roof off, whatever it takes, to know Him more intimately. For it is in this pursuit that we will experience His grace, healing, and transformation in our lives.
