Highest calling

What is a calling?
Sometimes people struggle to understand what a calling is.
It sounds so mystical and mysterious to many.
A calling is an invitation or summons to leave what we’re doing to serve someone who needs us.
It always involves feelings of inadequacy-
– because it moves us out of our comfort zone.
It always involves sacrifice, unselfishness, and commitment for us to use our talents, abilities, and life experiences to serve God and man.
A calling of God is always an inner leading from Him-
– that is consistent with God’s Word in the Scripture.
Can anybody be called?
Yes!
In fact, everybody is.
“…you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.” 1 Peter 2:9.
For the highest calling in life is-
– not to be a teacher or a public servant,
– not to be a pastor or a doctor,
– but to be a Christian and to follow Jesus in faith.
It’s a calling for life and for eternity that you don’t want to miss.
Have you accepted life’s highest calling?
