For decades, whenever the question of purpose arose, my heart always returned to Isaiah 61:1-4. These verses became the thread that stitched together the fabric of my calling, whispering truth louder than the world’s opinions. Their words painted a vision of binding up the broken-hearted, proclaiming freedom, and rebuilding ancient ruins. It was as though God Himself had written my life’s mission into those lines before I ever drew breath.

This sense of mission was always echoed in the song "Take My Healing to the Nations" by Bob Fitts. The melody still rises within me like a prayer, carrying the cry of my heart—that what God has poured into me, He would pour out through me. To bring His healing, His love, His beauty, into the lives of the hurting.

My core values—faith, love, compassion, service, and creativity—find their roots in this passage and song. They remind me that my purpose is not about recognition or ambition. It is about living as a vessel of His hope and light, carrying the message of restoration that first touched my own life.

💡 Reflection: Where has God etched His purpose into your heart through Scripture, song, or whisper? How might you carry that truth forward today?🤔

🙌Prayer:

Lord, thank You for anchoring my purpose in Your Word before the world ever had an opinion. Help me to live Isaiah 61 in my everyday life, bringing Your healing and freedom to those You place before me. May my mission never be swayed by doubt or opposition, but remain steady in Your call. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
