Soul Mission: Determine Your Purpose for LivingSample

If you are a Christian, Jesus is your sure foundation. He should be your soul’s sole passion in life. From passion flows everything else. A foundational passion governs you, a total mission grounds you, and a personal vision grows you as you move along into the future. In this short Bible reading plan, we will focus on the second—your mission. It is vital that you give serious thought and willful action to your general purpose for living—your soul’s mission.

Your current life mission relates to:

• what you do repeatedly,
• what justifies your existence, and
• what validates your activity.

This will help define your “mission.” You may have inherited or unintentionally developed it, but your mission, it is!

Until you take the time to consider the repeated actions or habits in your life and the ways you have justified your existence and validated your activities, you won’t have a clear sense of what might need to change. Ask God to clarify and if necessary, redirect your purpose for life.

God has given you the opportunity to build a house—a life—that is uniquely yours. You want to build it well. A spiritual foundation of passion—the love of Christ—equips you for balance, direction, and impact during life’s brief building process. Your mission—general purpose—derives from your overall passion and becomes the ground floor of your daily life. Your unique vision will then summon your mission as you build a magnificent house.
