God's Purpose

Real hope for our relationships isn't found in finding the perfect person, but in becoming the person God made us to be. Genesis 2 shows that before Eve ever entered the picture, Adam had purpose, boundaries, and a restored identity from God — and the same order applies to us: purpose, wise choices, identity, and rest come before intimacy and marriage.

God has a purpose-filled plan for every life, and He positions each of us, just as He positioned Nehemiah, to play a specific part in what He is doing. Getting a God-sized vision starts with understanding what God is doing in history, letting our hearts break for what breaks His, embracing personal repentance, and wrestling in the tension between where we are and where God wants us to be.
