We all have our own missions. Unlike a soldier in today’s military who is trained in what their commanders think they will be best at, we are to train in what we were CREATED to do. We have been designed and built to do our specific mission. No one else can accomplish what you are to accomplish. You cannot accomplish what someone else is to accomplish. If you are like me, this is both a relief and horribly scary. I’m so glad I don’t have to do what you are supposed to do. At the same time, what if I don’t do what I’m supposed to do? What if I don’t do it well enough? Those thoughts are terrifying.
I don’t think we will ever know the full scope of our individual missions. I think we would all be so overwhelmed that we would simply freeze. But I think we can know pieces as we need them. I also think we can know the general category of our mission. We can even know a specific focus for our efforts, at least for a time. Our missions can change over time. Just because we are supposed to do something now doesn’t mean we aren’t supposed to do something different later.
Everyone should be willing and able to present the gospel when the opportunity arises. We are also told we are to be able to give a reason for our hope (1 Peter 3:15). That sounds like an mission for everyone. Just because you find yourself very rooted in one category doesn’t mean you get to ignore the others. And it should go without saying, we should all be talking with God all the time.
Do you have something you are passionate about? Some injustice that causes you to see red? A holy discontent? Some aspect of life you see is wrong and want fixed? Maybe you see something really good but not prevalent enough. Something coming to mind? What sets you on fire? What wets your dry bones? My guess is whatever you are thinking of right now is a very big aspect of your mission. Not thinking of anything? Ask God to reveal your passion. I believe we all have at least one, so if you aren’t thinking of something right now, I think it is more an aspect of God revealing it, rather than giving it to you. Once you know your passion you can find others with similar interests and get together to begin making that difference.
All of this should be done with great amounts of prayer. Try and surround yourself with people you can talk about this process with.
”Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it.“
1 Peter 3:15 NLT
