Day 29- Accepting Your Assignment

Part of your design on earth is to give back. You aren't made to simply stand around using up food and air. You are designed with a ministry, a way to give back and be a part of creation.

You were created to serve God. There are things that only you can do for God, because he created you so precisely.

You were saved to serve God. We need to give as we have been given.

You are called to serve God. As a Christian, service is part of the deal. Service doesn't save us, but as Christians we can't get the most out of life without it.

You are commanded to serve God. Serving is something we are told to do. So often we think we need to prepare more, but God wants us to do what we learn. Early Christians understood that there is no difference between truly knowing and doing.

The fact is that we will have to give God an account of what we did with our lives. Only by giving back can we have life to the fullest. We are built to serve, and when we serve we are doing what God wants of us. We need to constantly remind ourselves of this.

Thinking about my purpose:
Know. Service is not optional.
Remember. “For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." -Ephesians 2.10 (NIV)
Think about it. What is my excuse for not serving, and what can I do to get past it?
