Ephesians 1:5

He predestined and lovingly planned for us to be adopted to Himself as (His own) children through Jesus Christ, in accordance with the kind intention and good pleasure of His will to the praise of His glorious grace and favor, which He so freely bestowed in us in the Beloved.

We cannot forget that our lives are meaningful and important to God.  We are not an accident. We are here on purpose, and we matter to God. Our lives are an extension of Jesus and His commandments here on earth. We are vital to fulfilling God’s plan and reaching the lost of this world. Don’t let the turbulence in the world take our eyes off the purpose we have through Jesus.
