How is your vision? ... Has God given you a 'mission' to fulfill? ... YES? ... NO?....
We often equate how successful our spiritual life [In Christ] is, by how successful we are in fulfilling God's 'mission/plan' for our life. If our mission life is successful then clearly our spiritual life must be good.
