THE AWESOME POWER OF KNOWING YOUR MISSION

When you know the purpose for your life - the mission of it - you gain extreme clarity and life becomes far less confusing. This is a powerful reality and the light that illuminates your paths, your decision-making, and your values.

Without knowing that you were made by God to enjoy and glorify Him, and to love what He loves (people), you will search impulsively for a purpose or mission worthy of your life. You need purpose and you need a mission. You need to know that there is something greater than you worth living for and that your life matters. The only empowering way to discover this is through full surrender to Jesus and His Lordship in your life.

Short of this kind of surrendered clarity, you will grasp for far less worthy missions - like personal wealth, popularity, possessions, success, pleasure, existential experiences, and relationships made dysfunctional by your utter dependence upon them.

You were made for so much more.

You were made to glorify God and love people. It really is that simple.

Your soul will not find peace, joy or fulfillment until it rests in the unconditional love and Lordship of Jesus and joins Him in His mission to redeem all mankind to Himself.

What are you living for?

Is it worthy of your submission?

Is it worthy of dying for?
