There are many things we are told to do through the Word of God and by the Spirit of God but here is one distinction the Lord impressed upon the nobody writing to you today that has proved helpful:
Your personal mission (whatever that is) is directly tied to your talents, skills and abilities. That is not new news, the Lord has been all over that message for some time now. What is new news is this: accomplishing your mission at the highest level requires you to be the best version of yourself. It is tied to this idea that each of us has multiple/myriad different versions of ourselves.
So, another way of thinking about mission accomplishment is taking a look at what "version of yourself" you are today. If we are the 50% out of 100% version of ourselves, and there is a direct correlation to doing what we have been tasked to do-you can figure that out fairly clearly (the mission is suffering).
Only you and the Lord know what the very best version of you looks like. Just know that your very best version is directly tied to fully accomplishing what the Lord has placed before you to do. He gave us tools in our toolbox to do work that supports His Kingdom.
Right now, this servant believes we are all being called to up our game, up our standards, up our life, up our version of ourselves to 100%. One does not have to be very creative thinker to look around and see the state of this world and put together that this world needs believers who are bringing their "A-game" to the contest.
This is also directly tied to Matt 25, the parable of the talents which just so happens to be talking about alot more than depositing money at a bank. We who believe have the ability to move mountains. To whom much is given, much is expected. That means we are expected to move mountains. Our Lord Jesus Christ raised the dead, changed water to wine, drove out demons, etc and we are expected to do more (because we can):
John 14
12“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. 13Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14If you ask mee anything in my name, I will do it.
Doing stuff like this ^^^ is going to require the best version of ourselves. Time to get to work :)
Glory to God
grace and peace
