A friend said that a month ago. I’m still thinking about it.
You hear those words and think about your job or your life direction, and you think you’ve got to make major changes because, you know, “calling” is such a massive, all-consuming idea.
It is
But
What if your calling is
to love, give grace, and be generous?
What if your calling is
to be committed to your marriage and family, and to put them ahead of your boss and your career?
What if your calling is
to kindness and forgiveness? With those people, you know, them.
These things are massive, too. As massive as career changes and callings into ‘the ministry.’
These callings take work, initiative, energy, and sacrifice
It’s not easy or comfortable to love and give grace. It’s not comfortable to be generous, kind, and forgiving. It’s not comfortable putting your family first and committing to their destiny and legacy.
But you can’t substitute comfort for calling.
