Many times over the past few years we have heard the phrase mission complete. God has called each one of us to a specific mission in life, this is our calling. Does God have a specific purpose for our life beyond the role of a faithful servant. Is there something specific that we are to accomplish before we move into eternity? Is it only upon completion of our mission that we called home? God has clearly placed a call on our lives to live holy, faithful Christian lives. He has also designed us for a specific purpose. Each one of us has unique gifts and talents needed to complete their specific kingdom mission. Our mission may not always be what we expect it to be. Jim Elliot called to the people of Ecuador, only ministered there a short time before his life was taken. Only allowed to served a short time Jim left behind extensive journals. Although cut short in our eyes, he fuffilled his mission. A mission that allowed his wife to continue to serve the people of Ecuador, write her books and influence others through her speeches. A missionary translating the bible to a Vietnamese dialect, was warned by family and friends of the dangers of her calling. Her response was "I will not go home until I have complete God call on my life.- Shortly after the translation was completed, the village she was living in was invaded and her life was taken. Her mission and her call had been completed.
Do you know your purpose? What is your calling?
