I once heard a message by a certain Stephanie Ike where she said "Purpose stems from intimacy" (paraphrased). According to her message, ( https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM6e6SU75/ ), we are so obsessed by purpose that we forget that intimacy (with God who is our source) breeds purpose. According to Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed you in your mother's womb, I knew you..." Purpose is from Intimacy in my opinion.

And we shouldn't chase it and forget to love like you said.

I love your writing Nary. You are a gem 💎
