God, our loving Father, thank you for all the ways you bless me. Help me to be aware that every person, place, and adventure I experience is an opportunity to love you more. Fill me with a desire to change and to grow, and give me the grace to become the-best-version-of-myself in every moment of every day. Amen.
2 Made for Mission
Now that you have discovered the healing power of God’s forgiveness and the life-changing power of the Eucharist, it’s a good time to think about why God has blessed you in so many ways. God has blessed you because he loves you. He has blessed you because he wants you to live a fabulous life here on earth and to live in heaven with him forever. And God has blessed you because he made you for mission. God gives every single person a mission. It may take some time to work out exactly what mission God is calling you to, but you have already learned about the most important part of your mission: to bring God’s love to everyone you meet. You were made for mission. God didn’t make you just to have fun. He didn’t create you to waste your time on things that are superficial. God made you for mission.
