We are called as God’s people, and we are each called individually. But what is it that we are called to?
I always come back to something I read in the Os Guinness book, ‘The Call’: “…we are not called to something or somewhere, we are called to Someone.“
When I think about that truth, I picture a child playing in the backyard on a sunny day, and a father coming outside through the back screen door of the house into the yard, opening his arms and calling to his child by name.
The child stops playing, turns his head to his father’s voice, and runs joyously across the yard straight into his father’s arms.
And I see my whole life as running across the yard into my Father’s arms. That’s what we’re called to.
What you do in life isn’t as important as who you are in life.
You can have the desire and talent to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a plumber, or a dancer, or an engineer, or whatever, but your career or job isn’t really your calling. Your calling is to Him.
Your life is a journey. It’s not a dead end, it’s a race across the years God is giving you and it will end up with you leaping into His loving arms. Hold that picture in your mind’s eye every day.
