YOU HAVE A MISSION TOO

YOU HAVE A MISSION TOO! Jesus was on a MISSION With his life To bring LOVE-forgiveness- Kindness-and healing To a fallen world God had a plan And a destiny For his SON'S life “........how great is my anguish Until it is accomplished” Luke 12:50 Jesus had a driving sense Of his mission Jesus said, “Because you have So little FAITH Truly I tell you if you have faith As small as a mustard seed You can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' And it will move, NOTHING will be impossible To you” Matthew 17:20-21 NO ONE ever really thought That Jesus was THE MESSIAH With the possible exception Of Peter-the other Apostles- Mary-his mother-and Mary Magdalene Until his RESURRECTION But he had a “fire” To set on earth And HE ACCOMPLISHED HIS MISSION “Jesus looked at them And said, 'With man this is IMPOSSIBLE But not with God; ALL things are possible With God'” Mark 10:27 We may not recognize it But we too ARE CALLED on In a MISSION for God God has a PLAN For each And everyone of our lives I think back TO WHEN I was 22 When I was given Zero % chance to live Because of gangrene-peritonitis-a 108 degree fever And a blood count that reached as low as three Yet here I STILL sit and stand Some 38 + years later I PROMISED: “To LIVE for my family- My friends- And ALL PEOPLE everywhere” And I will ATTEMPT to carry that PROMISE That I made to God UNTIL the day That I die “And we know That in ALL things God works for the GOOD Of those who LOVE HIM Who have been called ACCORDING to his PURPOSE” Romans 8:28 And I PROMISE YOU That you too have a MISSION FOR GOD No matter how “ORDINARY” Your life may seem The little things you do For others in life ARE NOT UNIMPORTANT A birthday card A KIND WORD to another A visit to the elderly Or a shut-in There is NO TELLING How your life May affect another human being Even PRAYERS for others HELP THEM In fact I truly BELIEVE They may be OUR BEST WEAPON “For I know The PLANS I have for you” Declares the Lord Plans to PROSPER you And not to harm you And to give you HOPE And a FUTURE” Jeremiah 29:11 It is important That you KNOW You have a MISSION As a 21st century Disciple and apostle of Christ To give someone else HOPE and a FUTURE SHARE with others The LOVE AND KINDNESS- That God gave to you And you will FULFILL YOUR MISSION Robert P.
