10 Things I Wish Older Christians Told Me
…love your ‘self-examination’ questions! Thanks!
Thank you for this post. It’s another confirmation of God saying He’s working in my life. I am soon to start a daring and seemingly foolish journey. Just two days ago I was confronted with a huge error in my plans that would need a monetary correction that I did not possess. I saw no way out because I had already committed to the larger plan and gave it over to God. The next day I was given the means to earn that money, and as through this whole thing, I have just been showered with blessings to make this journey happen. This is all despite family opposition and my own doubts and fears.
What is one’s “mission in life” (last paragraph, point 6)? Is that the overarching “serving Jesus”, or something personal? How does one find one’s *personal* mission? I get the big picture; I’ve never figured out the smaller, and quite frankly, am tired of trying. Does one just content themselves with the big calling (being saved), or are we required to figure it out at a personal level?
These are big questions. I’ll just say our individual “mission” is far more specific than serving the Lord. Too much for a blog comment. I answer them all in my PROLIFIC program, including HOW to discover one’s mission. See https://www.frankviola.org/prolific
This post is an on-time blessing for me, Brother. The questions at the end really hit home. Thank you.
