You Were Made for a Mission
"For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ." - Galatians 1:10
It’s easy to fall into the trap of just getting through the day. You show up, do your job, respond to texts, try to get a few things done, and call it a win. But deep down, you might wonder if that’s all life is meant to be. Just existing. Surviving. And repeating.
Galatians 1:10 confronts that drift head-on. Paul did not live to blend in. He was not looking to keep everyone around him happy. He had a mission that pulled him forward. And he knew who he belonged to.
The same is true for you. You were not saved just to live a better version of your old life. You were saved into a Kingdom with purpose. God placed you here to live sent. That does not mean you have to leave your job or move to another country. It means right where you are, your life should be aligned with a bigger assignment.
What would change if you believed that today mattered for eternity? That your words, your choices, your attitude could all be tools God uses to impact someone else. Your mission is not measured by fame or applause. It is measured by obedience.
There is nothing wrong with having a career. But your calling goes deeper. You are a representative of the King. The people you interact with, the way you respond to pressure, the consistency of your faith when no one is watching, it all matters.
You do not have to wonder if you were made for more. You were. And God does not waste His workmanship. You are on mission now. Let that truth shape how you live, how you love, and who you live to please.
