As I lay down on my bed to sleep my mind is wide awake - why is that?
However, I made a realization today. I know - I know -that God has called each person to a certain destiny or life calling, and I always wanted mine to be glorious - like a missionary who lead a whole tribe to Christ, or a nurse who healed the next Billy Grahm - or just simply who helped to heal people -that is an awesome calling in and of itself, or a preacher that reached the next Joel Olstein. But as I lay there thinking about God's calling on people's lives, I realize that there are those that are called from God out of a cloud in the sky - no mistaking His calling on their lives, and then there are those who are called out of the quietness of His voice. These people don't need a sign from Heaven, because Heaven is in their daily lives and hearts. They long to do God's will simply because they long to have a sincere devotion to Him. Anything Christ asks of them, they willing and wholeheartedly do - no matter how insignificant it may be to the world - not because they feel forced to do it - but because they love Christ so much that anything they do they feel is not even deserving of doing. These people desire Christ - simply Christ - nothing more and nothing less. They cannot live without Christ, nor breathe with out Christ. He is simply their all - their life force. Anything in life is simply meaningless. They don't need a shout from the sky -they just need their Savior to live through them, and maybe, just maybe encourage those who have been called from the sky to be all the Christ has seen and desires them to be. Our jobs are never ceasing because as we begin to see through the eyes of Christ, or work is never done. Our prayers must be vigilant, must be all consuming, no matter if we get hurt in the process, because we desire Christ and His heart to beat within ours beyond anything else.
Christ is our all, nothing more, nothing less! He is our everything!
