Loki may have undergone the most dramatic transformation in the entire MCU, starting out as a manipulative villain consumed with achieving his “glorious purpose”… a selfish desire to see his happiness achieved at the expense of others. But after realizing the error of his ways and the empty futility of his mission, Loki learned that his “glorious purpose” was not to rule others, but to serve them… and by choosing to offer himself as a sacrifice and place the needs of others above his own dreams and ambitions, Loki unlocked his true potential and finally found the purpose he had been searching for. Crowns that are chased for personal glory are lost as easily as they are found… eternal crowns are exclusively reserved for those who put others above themselves. 

For much of my life I grappled with figuring out what the will of the Lord was for my life… and if I’m being honest, my selfish desires led me down many wrong paths. But finding our purpose in His kingdom and seeing our God-given dreams come true only occurs when we seek to use the unique gifts we’ve been given to serve others in the same sacrificial manner that Christ did… and crosses always precede crowns. Let’s take up our cross today and help others achieve their dreams… it is when we help others fulfill their own destiny that our “glorious purpose” is found.

Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant. And whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. Mark 10:43-45

Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. Philippians 2:3-4
