fivedoves readers- this is a good article on God having a mission for every believer to do in this life. So the question is, what is your God given mission that He wants you to fulfill before His return ? Gary

Everyone Has a Mission
As little
children we believe we are designed for a unique
mission. Why else would you strap on a cape and
jump off your parents’ roof? What else would make
you believe you can save every kitten in the
neighborhood by setting up a cardboard booth on
the street corner and find new feline owners? When
we are small, we believe we can accomplish
something great because it’s innate.
God made
us for a mission.
This
really shouldn’t be a surprise because we have in
us the breath of the God who made the moon, the
stars, Betelgeuse, and kittens—and like Him we
have the desire to create and accomplish.
God
created you to complete a mission for Him. He made
you to do something for Him.
Maybe you
are thinking, That
sounds great, Mike, but I don’t think God has a
personal mission for me. Maybe you have
heard people say that they are “called” to a
particular mission and you have wondered, What am I “called” to
do?
Let’s
take a look at one of God’s smallest creatures for
an inspiring reminder that we have all been made
for mission.
Every day
outside the entrance of my office building, a
flurry of bees bop from one colorful flower to
another to forage for nectar. According to blogger
Tony Fuentes, “When a bee visits a flower…some of
the flower’s pollen rubs off on the bee’s…fuzzy,
little belly. The bee then moves on to another
flower and some of the pollen on his belly is
transferred to that flower. Without this simple
act of pollination, plants wouldn’t give birth to
seeds or fruit. Crops would fail and farmers would
go bankrupt.”
It’s
incredible that God has given even the little bee
a job to do. Tony adds the amazing fact that
approximately every three mouthfuls of food we
enjoy is the direct result of pollination done by
our “fuzzy, black and yellow, jumpsuit-wearing
friends.”
Let me
ask you: Doesn’t it make logical sense that
because God has a job for the tiny bee that He has
a mission for you, the crown of His creation?
Ephesians
2:10 says, “For we are God’s workmanship, created
in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God
prepared in advance for us to do.” Prepared in advance.
Before God spoke the Milky Way into existence,
before Betelgeuse, before the earth was placed on
its axis, God planned you and He prepared you to
do good works which support His Master Plan.
Friend,
before the foundation of the world, you were
designed by Him and for Him. You have a mission.
