You were not created just to exist.
0:04
You were not created just to survive
0:06
another week
0:07
or pay another bill
0:09
or answer another message or attend
0:12
another meeting
0:13
or sleep tired every night without
0:16
knowing why you are here in the first
0:18
place. You know, there comes a moment
0:20
when God stops being just an idea in
0:23
your head
0:24
that you believe in and becomes the one
0:27
who calls you by name.
0:29
In today's gospel, Jesus does not send
0:32
random people. He calls the 12 by name.
0:35
He gives them authority
0:38
power and a mission.
0:40
That means your life is not an accident.
0:43
Your gifts are not a decoration.
0:46
Your skills are not just for survival.
0:49
Your work is not just for money.
0:53
God created you
0:54
called you
0:56
equipped you and now he wants to send
0:58
you. The question is
1:01
do you know what he created you to do?
1:04
My good people
1:05
welcome to today's daily dose of
1:07
motivation, inspiration and
1:09
encouragement.
1:10
Today is the Wednesday of the 14th week
1:13
in ordinary time. You can get today's uh
1:16
Catholic daily mass readings at our
1:18
website um catholicreadings.org
1:22
and you can find the link in the
1:24
description.
1:25
So, my good people
1:27
today's gospel comes from Matthew
1:29
chapter 10 verse 1 to 7.
1:32
Jesus calls his 12 disciples gives them
1:35
authority
1:37
over unclean spirits
1:39
and power to cure every disease
1:42
and every illness. Then the gospel goes
1:45
ahead and tells us Jesus named them one
1:48
by one. Simon, Peter, Andrew, James,
1:52
John, Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas,
1:55
Matthew, James son of Alphaeus,
1:58
Thaddaeus, Simon the Cananaean, and
2:01
Judas Iscariot.
2:02
So, why was that important?
2:05
It's because God does not call people in
2:07
general.
2:08
God calls people personally.
2:11
Jesus did not say,
2:13
"Somebody should go." He called them
2:15
name by name. He gave them authority. He
2:19
gave them power and direction and a
2:21
mission.
2:23
And then he told them what to proclaim,
2:25
and that was "The kingdom of heaven is
2:28
at hand."
2:29
And that is the theme of today's gospel.
2:32
That God calls you by name, gives you
2:35
authority, and sends you on a mission.
2:38
And this is where the gospel becomes
2:41
very, very personal.
2:43
But you are not created just to exist.
2:46
You are not created just to survive
2:48
another week or another month, to pay
2:51
the bills, to answer to to calls, or to
2:55
attend conferences everywhere, and to
2:57
sleep every night without knowing why
3:00
you are here in the first place.
3:02
No, God created you for a purpose. He
3:06
gave you talents, passions, skills, and
3:09
knowledge. He even gave you experiences,
3:13
and even some struggles that have shaped
3:16
you for that particular mission.
3:19
Somebody needs what God has placed
3:22
inside you today.
3:24
Maybe you are a teacher,
3:26
and your mission is not only to teach
3:27
subjects, but to awaken the confidence
3:30
in a child who feels forgotten. Or maybe
3:33
you are a parent, and your mission is
3:36
not only to provide food and school
3:38
fees,
3:39
but to raise children who know God,
3:42
who respect people, and who live with
3:45
discipline.
3:46
Maybe you are a business person, and
3:48
your mission is not only to make profit,
3:52
but to serve honestly,
3:54
create opportunities, and to show that
3:56
success can still have integrity.
3:59
Maybe you are a student,
4:02
and your mission is not only to pass
4:04
exams,
4:06
but to prepare yourself to become useful
4:09
in the hands of God.
4:11
Maybe you are working in an office,
4:14
in a farm, a hospital, a shop, a church,
4:18
school, or a studio, or or even your
4:21
phone. Wherever you are, God can turn
4:24
that place into your mission field.
4:28
But here is the part many people miss.
4:31
Before you can effectively serve God,
4:33
you must first identify and know why God
4:37
created you, and for what particular
4:40
purpose.
4:41
Only after discovering that, can you
4:44
serve God using your specific God-given
4:47
talents, passions, skills, and
4:50
knowledge.
4:51
You cannot serve fully when you do not
4:54
know your particular assignment.
4:57
The disciples were not all the same.
5:00
Peter was not Matthew.
5:02
Andrew was not John.
5:04
Thomas was not James. Each one had a
5:07
name.
5:08
Each one had a personality.
5:11
Each one had a story. Each one had a
5:13
role. And that is the same with you. So,
5:17
stop trying to become a copy of somebody
5:19
else. Stop measuring your calling using
5:22
another person's journey.
5:24
Stop thinking that God forgot you
5:27
because your life does not look like
5:28
theirs.
5:30
God did not create you to be a
5:32
duplicate. He created you to be unique.
5:36
The world today is full of people who
5:39
are spiritually tired.
5:41
People who are anxious.
5:44
Families are under pressure.
5:46
Young people are confused.
5:49
Many are chasing success but losing
5:52
their souls.
5:54
Many are connected online but lonely
5:56
inside.
5:58
Many are smiling in public but silently
6:01
breaking in private.
6:03
And Jesus is still saying to you,
6:06
"The kingdom of heaven is at hand."
6:09
But who will carry that message?
6:11
It's not the priests only.
6:13
It's not the religious sisters only.
6:16
Not the catechists only, but every
6:19
baptized Christian who has a mission.
6:22
Your kindness can preach.
6:25
Your honesty can preach.
6:27
Your patience can preach.
6:30
Your excellence can preach.
6:32
Your discipline can preach.
6:35
Your forgiveness can preach.
6:37
Your work can preach.
6:41
When you know why God created you, your
6:43
life becomes more focused.
6:46
You stop wasting energy on things that
6:49
do not matter.
6:51
You stop competing where God never
6:54
called you.
6:56
You stop burying your talents out of
6:58
fear.
6:59
You begin to live intentionally.
7:02
And that is where
7:05
your ordinary life becomes
7:06
extraordinary.
7:09
Maybe today God is not asking you to
7:12
change the whole world.
7:14
Maybe he's asking you to begin with the
7:17
people near you.
7:19
Your family,
7:21
your work mates in your workplace, your
7:23
customers,
7:25
your students,
7:27
your friends,
7:28
your online audience,
7:31
your parish, or even your community.
7:34
Jesus sent the disciples first to the
7:36
lost sheep of Israel. In other words,
7:39
begin where God has placed you.
7:42
Do not wait until you're famous to
7:44
serve.
7:45
Do not wait until you are rich to serve.
7:49
Do not wait until everything is perfect
7:52
to serve.
7:53
Start with what you have.
7:56
Start where you are.
7:58
Start with the gift God already placed
8:01
in your hands.
8:02
And if you're asking,
8:04
"But how do I know my purpose?
8:07
How do I I How do I identify my talents?
8:11
How do I know what God created me to
8:13
do?"
8:14
Then listen carefully. I can help you
8:17
identify those God-given talents. You
8:19
can book a session with me to discover
8:22
that particular purpose.
8:24
DM me
8:25
uh for more booking
8:27
uh details.
8:29
Because when you discover your true
8:31
purpose, you stop living accidentally.
8:35
You start living intentionally.
8:38
You stop waking up only to survive.
8:41
You begin waking up because there's a
8:43
mission attached to your life.
8:46
Today, Jesus is calling you by name.
8:49
He's not calling your neighbor instead
8:51
of you.
8:52
He's not calling the perfect instead of
8:54
you.
8:55
He's not calling the famous instead of
8:58
you. He's calling you.
9:00
And when God calls you, he also gives
9:03
you the grace, strength, and authority
9:07
to do what he created you to do.
9:10
Right?
9:11
Finally, like always, I will never stop
9:13
insisting on this, that before the end
9:16
of every day, make sure you do your work
9:18
so well that at least one person you
9:21
meet on the way
9:22
will will sincerely tell you,
9:25
"Thank you, and may the God you worship
9:27
be praised and glorified."
9:29
Do your work with excellence.
9:32
Serve with humility. Speak with
9:34
kindness.
9:35
Carry Carry your
9:38
with faith
9:39
and let your life become a testimony
9:41
that God is real.
9:43
God is good and God is at work in you.
9:48
And never forget
9:50
to attribute all your success to God.
9:53
Never say, "I made it by myself." Say,
9:56
"It is by the strength, grace, and
9:59
providence that God gives me."
10:01
You are called by name.
10:04
You are sent with power. Now,
10:06
go and live your mission.
