Purpose 5 in Rick Warren’s The Purpose Driven Life is:

You Were Made For A Mission

Warren continues this discussion in day 37 — Sharing Your Life Message. Beginning with the sentence: God has given you a Life Message to share Warren writes that God wants you speak to the world through you. God has given you a message — a Life Message. This involves:

1. Your testimony.
This is your story of how you came to know Jesus and the difference He has made in your life. Sharing your story of what Jesus has done for you is vital. People who do not know Christ as their Savior are more apt to listen to the testimony of an excited lay person than to the most eloquent preacher. It’s important to give your testimony — to share your story.

2. Your life lessons
These are the things God has taught you in your life. You need to be willing to share what you have learned about God in your life, as well as learn from what others have learned about God from their life experiences.

3. Your Godly passions.
God is passionate about many things.
God gives His people passions for the things He is passionate about.
God will give you a passion for something He is passionate about — something that needs to be done in the world for His glory. Pray for God to give you a passion for what can be done for Him, and follow it!

4. The Good News
God gives you a way to share the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ every day. Take advantage of them!

God has blessed you with a Life Message — a particular way to share His love and get His mission done in the world. Discover how you can communicate God through your life!

Lord God, Help me to see how I can share Your love and do Your work through all the aspects of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
