I have done some thinking about intersections:
The corner of Passion and Purpose
The corner of Desires/Skills and needs of the world.
Time spent pondering those addresses will give clarity to your mission in life. At the heart of that mission for all of us is service.Taking the resources we have been given and using them somehow for the benefit of others. I read the following quotes this past weekend and used them in my Sermon yesterday.
“God’s written word and the guidance of His Spirit always leads you always to effective service.”
“The church is a place of rehabilitation, not convalescence. It is not a hospice that prepares people to die, it’s a rehab center preparing people to live”
Dr. George Wood said this week that we assume that if we do not do God’s will, there will be someone waiting in line to take our place.
Not so. If you do not do what God is asking you to do, it won’t get done. What is your mission in life? Preparing the way for others is a key part of your mission. A road worker making a good highway for the King to travel on. It only makes sense if the King is coming.
We are never more like Jesus than when we are serving others.
