One such story is that of David, whose life was chosen and used by God. After going through all the trials and troubles, he became the king of Israel. Despite facing many obstacles and challenges all along the way, David remained faithful to God and eventually fulfilled his purpose. Another example is that of Moses.

The Holy Spirit will surely lead you to understand what God especially talks to you. When touched by Jesus&#8217; words, people may feel a sense of peace, hope, and joy. They may also feel convicted of their sins and a need to repent and turn their lives around. Jesus&#8217; teachings, such as the Sermon on the Mount, offer guidance and wisdom on how to live, which can please God, filled with love, compassion, and service to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, knowing the calling of Jesus and being touched by His words involves a personal relationship with Him. It requires listening to His voice, following His guidance, and trusting His love and grace. Remember that finding your purpose is a personal journey.
