Calling is the truth that God calls us to himself so decisively that everything we are, everything we do, and everything we have is invested with a special devotion and dynamism lived out as a response to his summons and service. - The Call.Everything we are. Everything we do. Everything we have. That sounds really inviting to me.
Two additional thoughts for now:
- "God call us to himself so decisively..." It is incredibly uplifiting and incredibly humbling to consider that God would call us-- Not just in the general "sure, everyone" sense, but in the "I knit you together in your mother's womb" sense. Who am i that He would call? And what have I done to respond?
- "Everything..." I get so myopically focused on calling as career, that I fail to see the rest of everything: Husband, Father, Son, Brother, person who likes reading advice columns... It explodes the question the question from "What will I be when I grow up?" to "What will I be and how is that reflected in all that I do?"
