Terri's Wellspring

We must quickly carry out the tasks assigned us by the one who sent us. The night is coming, and then no one can work. But while I am here in the world, I am the light of the world.     John 9:4-5  New Living Translation

Carpe Diem is a Latin phrase that is often translated as a directive to ”Seize the Day.”   It is a motivating term for me to maximize my time and effort during the opportunity that the day has to offer.   

This passage in St. John is a response from Jesus to the Disciples about the urgency of our work here on earth.  It gives important reminders about our existence:

• Our assignment is given to us by God.   As our Creator, He knows our purpose and our God-given assignment that is consistent with His word.
• We must be focused and move with urgency to fulfill our tasks. 
• We have limited time to accomplish our work.   

Approaching this day, I want to focus on advancing my God-given assignment on behalf of the ministry of Jesus Christ.
