Live a life worthy of your calling

“I then as a prisoner of the Lord urge you to live a life worthy of your calling.” Ephesians 4:1

All your life God has been preparing you for your calling. He knit you together in your mother’s womb with just the right DNA for the task, custom designed you, and fitted you with all the tools you would need. Then He allowed you to go through various trials and experiences in this fallen world to train you on handling obstacles. Why? So that you might pass along comfort and coping skills to others to help them.

“Praise be to the God and Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.” 1 Corinthians 1:3-4

Who better than a woman who was abused to pass along to another woman the hard lesson of standing up for herself, moving on, and forgiving? Who better than a quadriplegic to impart knowledge of following God from a wheelchair? Who better than a successful businesswoman to pass along to another raising star how to navigate the business world successfully without losing her soul? Who better than someone who has been knocked down again and again to show another how to repeatedly get up in the power of the Lord?

We all have gifts that play into our calling. If you are unsure of your calling, pray and ask God to show you your passion – for surely that is where your calling lies. If you are still unsure ask a friend, pastor or family member. They probably know. Then live a life worthy!
