In Matthew 11:2-5, John the Baptist sent messengers to Jesus with a simple but profound question: “Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?” Jesus’ response was not filled with grand promises or future prophecies, but rather the evidence of what had already been accomplished—healing the sick, giving sight to the blind, and preaching the good news to the poor. Jesus offered tangible proof of His mission by pointing to visible works, not just words or visions. There is a time to talk about the things you want to do, and there’s a time to talk about what has been done.
The true sign that your mission is in progress lies in the work already accomplished. This is not the time for grand vision statements or repeating old prophecies; it’s a time for action. What have you done? No matter how small or insignificant it might appear, every step counts. If you really understand your mission, it should be evident in your day-to-day life. Your actions, even in the little things, should align with your purpose. Being conscious of your mission means living it out daily, showing results, not just talking about the future. It is important to understand this distinction.
Your mission should be reflected in physical, verifiable actions you take daily. This could mean enrolling in a course to gain necessary skills, seeking to shadow someone who has walked the path, or applying for opportunities that align with your purpose. You could volunteer or work at a company that moves you closer to your mission. Sitting idly, waiting for a miraculous breakthrough, is not faith—it’s a form of laziness. If you are truly on a mission, it should be evident in the small, consistent steps you take every single day.
