Are you just one of several children floundering around with no sense of purpose? Are you an only child or perhaps an orphan with no strong connection any family? There is one big question that many people ask themselves. Why am I here? Why are you here? If you know who you are, you will discover what you can do. If you do not know your identity, you are likely to be confused with tough situations present themselves. Once you come into God\u2019s Kingdom through Jesus Christ, you discover you were not born, YOU WERE SENT. God has an amazing plan for you. It is your job to discover that plan and fulfill it. God\u2019s plan matches who you are, what you like, what you are like and all the good things about you. The Bible brings to life the special calling each individual has upon their life that is special is customized to their strengths. If you study the \u201cin Christs\u201d in the Bible, you will discover all about yourself from God. You will know why you are here and the path that you are to take will be illuminated by God\u2019s Word for you to fulfill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Were you just born because of a hook up between your mother and father one day?
