Forever ~ Kari Jobe
The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and
destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to
the full, till it overflows). ~ John 10:10 AMPC
Have you ever thought about the mission God's given you?
Most businesses have a mission statement which serves as the filter behind all
their decisions. It's their "why." Your "why" is what keeps
you motivated when the odds are stacked against you, helps you filter life's
decisions, and enables you to persevere when the lies of the enemy are
mounting.
Lately, I've been looking into some resources to help
with my calling. One wanted to know my "why." Mine is to empower,
encourage, and help others to know their value, worth, and freedom in
Christ—freedom from lies, shame, and pain. I can still see the image God
painted for me: a beach was lined with towers holding captives in bondage. But
through prayer and sharing God's truths, the prisoners were freed, and the
towers were torn to rubble, washed away by the waves of the sea, like melted
sandcastles.
We know that the thief comes only to steal, kill, and
destroy our dreams, visions, and God-given missions, which is what makes your
"why" imperative!
I encourage you to pray and journal, asking God your
"why." Whom will you to impact on the mission He's given you? Whose
lives will you touch and change, (if it's truly God-sized, you won't know the
half of it!)? Spend time with your heavenly Father uncovering your "why."
Then write it down, so that when the devil lies to you about God's calling for
your life, you can look at the devil and say, "This is what I've been
called to, and here's why!"
