God is Our Creator

Hey, Bridge Family, 
 
I hope everyone had a great week! This Sunday, we talked about how God is our Creator, and because of that, we are called to fulfill our purpose. Take a moment to reflect on that. The key question is: What is God’s purpose for me right now, and how has He uniquely created me for that role? It’s a pretty deep question, isn’t it? Many of us wrestle with this, and your child probably does too! Still, as you disciple your family, it’s important to help your children understand the answer. The truth is, when we find our purpose, we feel more meaningful. Specifically, why do we matter to God’s Kingdom? Why were we created, and what is our purpose in life? 
 
The Bible teaches us that our purpose is to glorify God. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, Matthew 5:14-16, and 1 Peter 4:11 are but a few verses that reveal this truth to us. But, how exactly do we glorify God?  
 
1. First, ask yourself this question: “What unique talents or character qualities did God give you?” 

2.  Then ask, “How can I use that uniqueness or character quality to glorify God?”   
​
If this requires some brainstorming, that’s beneficial because it will help you guide your child through those same questions. If you’re having difficulty, pray to God for guidance and encourage your children to do the same as you explore these questions together. Nothing should be considered too insignificant if it is used to glorify our Lord. Remember, if your child, or you for that matter, becomes discouraged, Jesus promises, “If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones (Lk 16:10).”  
 
Remember, it’s never too late to engage. As long as your child is at home, you have an excellent opportunity to share the Bible and explore it together, making faith an exciting and meaningful adventure. God Bless, and hope to see your family on Sunday.
