In a world filled with questions about identity and purpose, it’s easy to look inward or outward for answers. Yet Scripture points us in a different direction—back to our Creator. Genesis 1:27 reminds us that we were intentionally created in the image of God, fully known, deeply loved, and designed for relationship with Him. Our purpose is not something we must invent or discover through endless searching; it is rooted in who God is and why He made us. When we remember that we belong to the Lord, we can live with confidence, clarity, and peace, knowing we were created to know Him and make Him known.

Your Daily Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for creating me in Your image and inviting me into a relationship with You. Help me remember that my purpose is rooted in who You are, not in what the world says I should be. Forgive me when I lose sight of Your truth and chase my own definition of identity. Keep my heart anchored in You, and guide my steps so my life reflects Your goodness and glory. Teach me how to live out my purpose by knowing You deeply and making You known.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
