Each of us has a mission in life. Jesus prays to his Father for his followers, saying, “As you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world” (John 17:18 NRSV). We seldom fully realize that we are sent to fulfill God-given tasks. We act as if we have to choose how, where, and with whom to live. We act as if we were simply dropped down in creation and have to decide how to entertain ourselves until we die. But we were sent into the world by God, just as Jesus was. Once we start living our lives with that conviction, we will soon know what we were sent to do. Henri Nouwen

As disciples of Jesus Christ, baptized and anointed, we have been given a mission. First, to be concerned and convicted about our eternal salvation begun in baptism. But secondly, to be concerned and convicted of the need to share with others the Good News of Salvation in the power of the Holy Spirit. Some may say, "Who me." Yes. God has many divine appointments for you to complete his mission, but waits for you to yield yourself to follow the lead of the Lord. Your role is to lead others to Jesus, who will convict and convert the other. But you are an instrument. Do not be afraid of your testimony concerning what Jesus has done in your life. Be humble and bold and watch what God will do.
