2 Corinthians 4:1 – Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart.
Because Paul had this ministry, this gospel message to share with the whole world, he didn’t give up or lose heart or grow weary or fade away. He kept at it with passion and purpose and fire and intensity!
We’ve each been given a life of purpose to live here on earth. Every day we wake up and still have breath in our lungs there is a mission for us to accomplish. Do you know your mission? “Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is …” Familiar words if you are a Mission Impossible fan. And our mission is impossible to carry out in our own strength, with our own ingenuity. We can only be successful with God guiding us and empowering us.
Perhaps you know your mission but you’ve given up on it ever happening. God is saying to you today, “Don’t give up! It’s through my mercy, by my power, and in my timing that this will take place.” Or maybe you are just so burnt out and tired that you feel like you can’t go on. Can you hear God’s voice for you today? “Do not lose heart! I have written this mission statement on your heart. It’s who you are. The world needs you to be who I created you to be!”
“Therefore, since through God’s mercy I have this ministry, I do not lose heart!” What’s your mission statement from God? Be strong and go and do it!
