Called By Him

Isaiah 43:1
But now the LORD who created you says, Don't be afraid, for I have ransomed you; I have called you by name;
you are Mine!

How many of you have felt and heard the call of God on your life? Now it may be a still small voice that is easy to ignore - I know in my life I have resisted the call of God - I felt years ago that I should go into youth ministry - but nothing ever became of it - later on I heard the call to mentor others - God used me in the lives of two young men - one now is married and has a family of his own - the other told me the other day that he is thankful I have been there for him! Then the call moved to children -I have been blessed with the ability to met children where they are at -- it's all JESUS nothing to do with me - but HIS call was heard years ago - but I didn't listen - and it took me years to find out what HE wanted me to do - do you hear that call on your life?
God didn't save us to be by ourselves - He wants us to be part of His community - the Church -we are HIS bride! I know GOD has call me - has He called you?
the purpose of this devotional today is not to pat myself on the back - it's to bring GOD glory for the call on my life - My flesh does not want to serve God - right now my flesh is fighting me - I want to do this for GOD but my flesh is weak - but the reason this continues to be put out is because I feel the call of GOD on my life -
I pray that you can hear and sense that same call- the workers are few JESUS says - will you be one of HIS workers - this often will mean little pay and no praise from men - not that we should seek that! There will however be much joy - the world around us is dying - there are lost people right without our voice - let's call out to GOD on their behalf - it's not about us - it's all about HIM! Are you called by HIM?

Word to the wise: God is calling you
- He does not call the qualified - He qualifies the called!

BECAUSE OF CHRIST we can do anything HE calls us to do!
