(A Daily Reflection on Divine Mercy)
God gives to each person a unique mission. Some are called to very public lives; others
are called to quiet and simple lives.
Some are called to use their minds in powerful ways; others are called
to use their hearts in special ways, but each person has a unique mission from
God. What is your mission? Seeking to know what the Lord asks of you is
essential to your journey of holiness and, therefore, happiness. When fully embraced, this mission will bring
abundant fulfillment to your life because of one simple fact: every mission is
a mission of Mercy. The struggle many
people have is that they embark on selfish endeavors in life, failing to commit
all their energies to the work of the Lord.
The Lord wants you to work day and night on His mission. This is not too much to ask. In fact, it’s what you were made for and the
only way to obtain what you truly desire.
His mission will certainly include moments of fun and rest, work and
struggle, laughter and tears. It will
also require a complete death to yourself.
But it’s worth it! Seek the
mission God has given you and embrace it with all your heart. If you do, the Mercy of God will pour forth
through your life (SeeDiary #1567).
Reflect, today, upon this simple question: What is my
mission in life? It may come to you
slowly, over time, taking twists and turns as you go. But never stop seeking to serve our Lord and
His perfect plan. This plan will become
the delight of your soul. Ponder it and
if you are on the wrong path, correct your direction in life.
Lord, I thank You for
calling me to a blessed and unique mission in life. I choose, this day, that which You have given
to me. I promise to say “Yes” to You
throughout my life and to never tire of fulfilling Your Will. I love You, Lord. Help me to love You with my life. Jesus, I trust in You.
