Jeremiah 29:11-14
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”

2 Challenges in life:
1. Find ourself- discover purpose- makes us solid and secure and where we need to be
2. Lose ourselves- when purpose is bigger than us
*Discover and then place it so I lose myself.
Nothing worse than being alive and not knowing why.
Jer. 29:11 Success is predictable but so is failure.
Failure is predictable. Life is designed for our success.
Bird- fly naturally Here today, gone
Fish- swim naturally > tomorrow. How much
Seed- built in success more important for us.
God has thoughts and plans for us. God is more concerned about our success than we are. God needs us to succeed. We are on God’s mind. Reputation= “names sake”
Manufacture protect their name. If there is a massive recall- reputation destroyed.
Let us make a product in our image. If I am not successful, God’s image is in danger. We cannot fail God protects our success because His reputation is on the line.
In God's word we read, “even if you are stiff-necked and complain I will prosper you for My namesake.”
That’s why if God say do it, you got what it takes.
How do we find our purpose?
1. Passion- energy- love- enjoyment-“sets us apart”. A person with passion stands out. Distinguishes us.
2. Spiritual Strength- what are they? Then we will do area of strength we are energized. In weaknesses we are drained
Whatever He tells you to do, He will do it for His namesake.
Do not be afraid to tell your dream. Make an announcement you can’t pay for. God’s name is on it.
Team work makes the dream work.
If a fish can’t swim- God fails.
If a bird can’t fly- God fails.
If seed can’t produce- God fails.
If God calls us to do something we are equipped to do it and we can not fail--for His name is on it.

Fish never leave water.
Seeds need soil.
Only humans test laws.

We decide to be successful.
Drugs and alcohol, cigarettes will not make me successful. They are not part of what we are called to do.
Do what your called to do, with who you are called to do it with.
I believe in you and you need to believe in yourself.
