Recently in a doctoral seminar my professor exhorted all of us to create a vision and purpose statement for our personal lives and for our ministry.
Since I have already created one for our youth/college group and for the music ministry, I decided to go home that evening and work on a personal vision and purpose statement. I have called it "Geoff Kirkland's spiritual goals." With no self-serving motivation whatsoever, I have outlined it with an acronym G-E-O-F-F so that I can easily memorize it and not forget it!
I challenge you to do the same. It profits greatly to sit, think, pray, and write your own personal vision and purpose statement for life. Have fun!
Soli Deo Gloria.
