A Special Calling

 June 6, 2024

Verse of the day - John 15:27 (NRSV)

You also are to testify because you have been with me from the beginning.

In Chapter 4 of my fourth book, Jesus tells us that everyone has a special calling in life.

Excerpt from Called By God

I call you to be holy and lead other people back to Me.  I have a special calling for everyone in their life.  I called Ananias to lay hands on Saul so that he would regain his sight.  Because of the things that Saul had done in the past, Ananias did not want to do this.  I told Ananias that I had special plans for Saul.  As a result, Ananias listened to Me and laid hands-on Saul.  Saul was so deeply touched by what happened to him that he was converted.  Instead of persecuting Me, he began to preach My words ands lead others back to Me.  Saul became the great Apostle Paul.  Do not be afraid of My calling.

Paul, the Apostle, drew many people to Christ as he did his work.  Just as Saul was open to God's calling in his life, we should be also.  We never know the type of work that God has in store for us.  Sometimes it may be scary for us to do the work that we are being called to do.  Jesus will be with us every step of the way leading and guiding us.  With Jesus as our guide, we should have nothing to fear.  When we feel weak, He will make us strong.
