There were three friends with big dreams and hearts full of passion, ready to change the world. One dreamed of being a peacemaker, bringing harmony to broken lives. Another had a heart for feeding the hungry, determined to erase poverty. The third chose a life of prayer as a monk, dedicating himself to seeking God’s presence. Each felt called by God to make an impact, to leave the world better than they found it.

But life didn’t unfold as planned. The peacemaker worked tirelessly, joining organizations and striving to stop conflict, yet the fighting continued. Despite his best efforts, he felt defeated and drained, his hope fading. The one feeding the poor gave all he had—setting up soup kitchens and distributing food—but the needs kept growing. He, too, felt overwhelmed, wondering if his work even mattered.
