The Whisper of Purpose
What if your purpose isn’t something you have to chase—but something already trying to get your attention?
Purpose rarely arrives as a lightning bolt. More often, it shows up as a quiet nudge… a curiosity… a pull you can’t quite explain.
Before purpose becomes clear, it becomes noticeable.
The problem isn’t that we don’t have purpose—it’s that we’re often too busy, distracted, or conditioned to listen.
Purpose speaks through:
What energizes you
What frustrates you (yes, really)
What keeps tapping you on the shoulder
In Jeremiah 29:11, we’re reminded that there is already a plan—a purpose—for each of us. The work is not to create it, but to become aware of it.
Reflection Questions:
What has been quietly calling my attention lately?
Where do I feel most alive?
What am I ignoring that I know matters?
This week, don’t force clarity. Just start listening!
Warmly,
Rev. Ellen
