When you donāt know your mission itās impossible to live on purpose. I see on social media today so many messages about following your heart, do what feels good, live in the moment, in other words, a lack of mission. A person living on mission wouldnāt use vocabulary like that in their dialogue. Every person is given a mission (or purpose) by God from birth. Whether you know what that is or not depends on how much youāve sought it out. Although our mission remains the same, our or assignment will change. At this point in my life Iām primarily assigned to love my wife, and bring her closer to Christ, and to support the greater creator community and give back from the knowledge Iāve gained over the past few years. Thatās my assignmentā¦ for now. Iām sure down the line, God will call me to a new assignment, but my mission of drawing people closer to Him through how I treat people will remain constant. Because I know my mission I am able to let it permeate everything I do and nothing feels forced, itās what social media people would call āliving authenticallyā when you donāt have a vision, standard, and mission for your life, you fall back on āwhat feels goodā or following the āwhims of your heartā because you donāt actually know what you SHOULD be doing and therefore have no standard that informs the choices you make throughout life. It becomes a cycle where your decisions arenāt all in alignment with each other which makes it impossible to live on purpose. If you truly want to live on purpose you have to start being intentional about understanding your mission and assignment and that only comes through relationship with Christ.
