God has a task for each of His children.

Acts 20:24  However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me —the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.

Paul wrote this in his goodbye letter to the Ephesians. Paul was obviously a man with a clear understanding that he had a job to do that was given him from God and he put that job before all else. 

Have you received a ministry from God? If you have, be faithful to it. Put that ministry before your own comfort. Our lives are valuable to God for the purpose of fulfilling the ministry given by Him. 

We all have a purpose. We don't feel right in our skins until we are fulfilling that purpose that God has for us. We all feel the need to find our niche and our spiritual niche is the ministry God has for us to do.  

How do you find that purpose? 
Start by doing more than lip service to Gods commandments. 

James 1:21,22 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you,which can save you. Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.

Follow up by communicating with God. Talk to Him and read His love letter/instructional handbook every day. Talk to Him because you want to and talk to Him even when you don't want to. Communication is a 2 way street, god wants to communicate with us, so read what He has to say, ask Him what He wants you to do and listen to what He tells you. You must be walking in close fellowship with God. 


And lastly, in order to hear "Well Done, good and faithful servant" (Matthew 25:21) when your task is completed, follow Paul's example by hard work and setting a good example for others to follow 
2 Thessalonians 3:7-11 For you know yourselves how you must imitate us, because we did not behave without discipline among you, and we did not eat anyone’s food without paying. Instead, in toil and drudgery we worked night and day in order not to burden any of you.  It was not because we do not have that right, but to give ourselves as an example for you to imitate.  For even when we were with you, we used to give you this command: “If anyone is not willing to work, neither should he eat.”  For we hear that some among you are living an undisciplined life, not doing their own work but meddling in the work of others.
