24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Quotation: “To live means to have something definite to do — a mission to fulfill — and in the measure in which we avoid setting our life to something, we make it empty. Human life by its very nature has to be dedicated to something.” –Jose Ortega y Gasset
Commentary: We all need a reason to get out of bed in the morning. Otherwise life is nothing but routine — going through the motions of living — dull existence without meaning. We crave excitement, a cause, a purposeful battle to fight.
Yet many people today strive to be cool, to impress, to look good to other people. They fill their time and their minds with meaningless media and aimless activities. Then they wonder why they feel so empty.
It is as if they are eating cotton candy all day and wondering why they never get full. There is no substance to it. And there is little substance to many people’s lives today — nothing but fluff.
Meanwhile we live in a world of desperate need. People all around us are hurting and self-destructing. They need someone to care.
Hey? Could there be a meaningful purpose for living lurking here? Maybe we could dedicate ourself to helping someone every day — speaking encouraging words, showing kindness, listening to another’s pain.
Here is a mission for you: Don’t go to bed tonight until you have eased someone’s pain today. Daily set your life to that and you will soon begin to lose your empty feeling.
Give it a go. Your mission today – should you decide to accept it – is to reach out beyond your comfort zone and help somebody. |

| Living Waters from Arkansas sang it in a song. They understood the Lord and their songs reflected it. |

| Steve, I can't believe how I messed up on my first comment. I must be tired. I meant to say I pray I have a mission to fulfill. All things can be corrected when the Lord directs. |

| We all have a mission to fulfill: to go out and preach the gospel, make disciples, heal the sick, build the Kingdom! |

| Amen, Ase! You said it! That mission is open and calling for every Christian to get involved. When that mission becomes a passion for us, then we really begin to live the life God has for us! |

need motivation and a passion deep within us to be all we can be,
for His Glory. Every day we will have an opportunity to help someone in need.
