Mission Statement

Most companies have a sign on a wall or a page in the employee handbook
that is titled “Mission Statement”. It lays out the company goals, ways they
treat customers or clients, and employees. It invites the employees to make it
a part of the way they work so it will be accomplished every day and
throughout the life of the company.

God also has a mission statement. His is written in a large book, expressed
through the divine inspiration of the men and women who wrote down his
words. God’s mission is to be with us and love us from conception to death in
this life and to welcome us home when this life is finished. He guides us and
is there for us at all times. He wants us to be successful in our material life
and in our spiritual life. He is there for us at all times, even when we are angry
at him or even deny him. His final mission goal is to have us with him for
eternity.

Satan has a mission statement as well. From Adam and Eve through today,
and all of the tomorrows yet to come, his mission statement is a simple one-liner:
steal as many souls from God as he can, using any and all means, fair or
foul, to have us turn away from God and follow him. Being with Satan also
lasts for eternity but the stay is far from pleasant, it is pure Hell beyond our
ability to begin imaging. He is a hard worker and we are the targets for his
efforts. Just as you have an alarm system in your house to prevent intruders,
you should have a very active and strong spiritual alarm, one that warns you of
any satanic intruders.

How about you? What is your mission statement? Is it a plaque on the wall
that you bought in a religious goods store? It is something you have
developed over time and modified for yourself and, if applicable, your family.
Maybe it isn’t formalized and written down, but you know what it is and you
expend your efforts to follow it. It should contain guidance for you in your work
life, play life, home life and, of course, your spiritual life. The bottom line is to
spend the rest of eternity with God. Take time to review your mission
statement and be certain it is in accordance with God’s, and revise where
necessary to lead you all the way to him.
