"What then shall we say to [all] this? If God is for us, who [can be] against us? [Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?]" (Romans 8:31 AMPC)
Don't allow the enemy, or people, to abort, define, or diminish your purpose. You were created on purpose for purpose by a God of purpose! Walk boldly in it!
"The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? It is better to trust and take refuge in the Lord than to put confidence in man." (Psalm 118:6, 8 AMPC)
Remember, it is God Who empowers purpose, not man. No one can stop His purpose in your life, except YOU! Stay connected to God.
"Whatever may be your task, work at it heartily (from the soul), as [something done] for the Lord and not for men, Knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the Lord [and not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [real] reward. [The One Whom] you are actually serving [is] the Lord Christ (the Messiah)" (Colossians 3:24 AMPC)
No matter what it looks like, God ways cause us to triumph. We have the victory in Him.
"In the Messiah, in Christ, God leads us from place to place in one perpetual victory parade. Through us, he brings knowledge of Christ. Everywhere we go, people breathe in the exquisite fragrance. Because of Christ, we give off a sweet scent rising to God, which is recognized by those on the way of salvation—an aroma redolent with life. But those on the way to destruction treat us more like the stench from a rotting corpse." (2 Corinthians 2:14-16 MSG)
