“My only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the
Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God's
grace.” (Acts 20:24 NIV)
You’re the only person in the world who can live your life.
No one else can live your life for you, and no one else is in competition with
you to complete the task Jesus gave you.
Take a deep breath, and rest in the truth that God created
you with such a unique mix of spiritual gifts, passions, abilities, personality,
and experiences that only you can be you. No one else can duplicate you, and
you cannot, should not, imitate another. You are an original masterpiece from
the Master’s hand.
Your uniqueness means you’re the only one who can fulfill
the mission that God assigned for you to complete.
God’s graduate assistant, Paul, says, “I consider my life
worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task
the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God's
grace” (Acts 20:24 NIV).
We shouldn’t waste a precious minute of life doing things
that don’t matter if that means the most important thing we can do is left
undone.
It’s never too late to start faithfully pursuing the mission
God has set before you — the one he designed you to complete.
You may think you don’t have skills God can use, but the
truth is, God designed you with the very skills he needs in you to do what he
asks of you. You are uniquely, wonderfully, and fearfully made.
