Our true purpose can only be discovered through knowing Christ Jesus. 

2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV), "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." 

I believe that nothing we have experienced is wasted. God has a way in his perfect timing of placing the pieces together; that eventually breaths the meaning into every season of what we had faced.  

Our Essence can now come forth" There, our story lies within the process. There, our purpose is revealed within the pain, and it speaks its meaning, Essence.
