Day Thirty Three - Made for Mission

“Place your talents and enthusiasm at the service of life.”  We were made for a mission.  We were created to serve powerfully.  We will never have lasting happiness until we realize this and act on it.

What are my talents?  What am I really good at?  How is God calling me to make the world and the Church better through these talents?

God is a God of purpose.  We were created for a purpose.  Figuring out this purpose is really important to finding joy.

How can I serve other people today even in a small way?  The more we serve other people, the more our mission becomes clear to us.  When I get caught up in myself, things go sideways. 

The more I serve other people, the clearer my mission will become.

What mission is God calling me to right now in my life?

Focus:

I cannot be happy focused on myself.  I was made for a mission.  It’s deep within me.  Only by serving others in a meaningful way do I truly discover the happiness I yearn for so unrelentingly.

Act:

What mission do I think God is calling me to now in my life?  Don’t get caught up in what he might have been calling me to in the past, or what he might call me to in the future.  Write down his invitation to me today as best as I can discern it.

Pray:

God, I want to serve you powerfully.  Which talent do you want me to focus on at this time in my life?

Amen.
