May you believe—with all your heart—that Jesus Christ saved you because He loves you. Salvation is not accidental, nor is it rooted in your worthiness or effort, but in the sovereign grace of God displayed at the cross. Christ “gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness” and to make us His own (Titus 2:14, BSB). You are loved with an eternal love, purchased by His blood, and kept by His power.

Because you belong to Christ, your life is not random or aimless. God created you—and placed you exactly where you are—for a distinct purpose. Mordecai’s words to Esther still echo with clarity and urgency:

“And who knows if perhaps you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” (Esther 4:14, BSB)

Esther was not called to passivity, comfort, or silence, but to courageous, obedient action grounded in trust in God’s providence. In the same way, believers today are not called to drift spiritually, to check out, or to simply go through the motions of faith. A faith that merely coasts is not the faith Scripture commends. God calls His people to watchfulness, perseverance, and active obedience.

Therefore, may you refuse spiritual complacency. Do not settle for a disengaged Christianity that is content with routine but lacks devotion. Instead, stay engaged. Keep your heart in it. Actively wait on the Lord—not with idle hands, but with prayer, obedience, repentance, and hope. Scripture reminds us, “Be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain” (1 Corinthians 15:58, BSB).

God is faithful to keep every promise He has made. Our calling is not to manufacture outcomes, but to live with purposeful, obedient faith while we wait for Him to work in His perfect time. You are called—right now—to an active, engaged, and purposeful faith that trusts Christ fully and lives boldly for His glory.

This is your moment. This is your calling. This is such a time as this.
