Your Mission Should You Choose To Accept It

“ A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:34-35

In the old Mission Impossible TV show and the more modern film version, there is a saying on a recorder that says “your mission, should you choose to accept it” followed by the given mission. Made me think of our mission as believers. It is not to live for ourselves but every where you go to seek to make a difference in the lives of people you encounter.

If you are a mom your primary mission is to make a difference in the life of that little precious child God entrusted to you for such a short time. If you are an employee it is to work as if working for the Lord. If you are a husband it is to love your wife like Christ loved the church(see Ephesians 5:21-33).If you are a friend it is to be the best friend you can be. If you are a homemaker it is to make your dwelling comfortable and welcoming.

The overall mission is to Put God First in ALL areas of life: Parenthood, work, recreation, home. Share the love of Christ to all you encounter if maybe with a simple smile. Your mission is to love one another. Period.

PRAYER: My mission may not be to necessarily go to a foreign mission field but to take care of the mission ‘field’ right in front of me whether it is family, a job, a volunteer position and always remembering to shine for Jesus. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
