Speaking at the 2017 Leadercast event, Pastor Andy Stanley had some great insight on purpose. Andy proclaimed that purpose is often found at the intersection of a broken heart, opportunity and skills.
Jess Ekstrom, also one of the speakers at Leadercast, modeled Andy’s quote. She was broken-hearted by children with cancer who had lost their hair.
Jess saw an opportunity to provide some joy and beauty for these children by using her skills to create headbands. This has brought joy to thousands of children while fulfilling the purpose of Jess’ life!
Philippians 2:13 teaches, “For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.”
Your purpose will be fulfilled when you are properly aligned with God’s purpose for you.
