You are where you are for a reason

Do you believe you are where you are for a reason?

I do.

I know some of you may not like where you are. You don't like your job, your house, your apartment, your relationships... and I get that. It may be stressful. It may not be where you hoped you'd be by this time in your life. 

But you are where you are for a reason.

Some of you love where you are. You love your job, your life, your family, your financial status... you even love those weirdos you work with.

I just want to remind you: You're not there by accident. You're there for a reason.

One way I like to say it is this: You are where you are on purpose for a purpose.

If you are a Christian, then God has you where you are because he wants you to make a difference. He wants you to change your world. He wants you to influence your circle of friends to at least give Jesus a chance. (Which is why, if you are a church person, you need to do whatever you can to get your non-church-person friends involved and hanging out with some other church people.)

You are where you are on purpose for a purpose.

We all need to be reminded of that often.

So where are you? You're there for a reason. Don't waste your opportunity.
