Called to make a difference

Do you know that God is interested in your concerns? Not just from afar, but in close, present and ongoing way. He is. God wants to re-sensitise the spirit of humanity to realise that our concerns are birthed out of our compassion. This is a desire to help others work through their circumstances and into something more profitable for their lives.

 

Equally, God is incredibly interested in your career. Going to work each day should be seen as an opportunity to influence the spiritual environment of those we work amongst. The Apostle Paul puts it this way,

“Whatever you do, do your work heartily as for the Lord rather than for men knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward…” (Colossians 3:23-24)

 

Put simply, as we allow the Holy Spirit to cultivate our spirit, He will lead us to a place where we understand and live out the following, “Compassion will move you to act. Your career will pay you, to enable you to act. However, your calling is what you were ultimately made for.”

                                    

You have been called by God to represent Him in every sphere of your life. Timothy says,

“God is the one who saved and called us with a holy calling. This wasn’t based on what we have done, but it was based on His own purpose and grace that He gave us in Christ Jesus before time began” (2 Timothy 1:9 CEB)

 

He did not create us to simply exist and then die. Humanity is unlike the animals and the trees. We were made in His image, and His image includes eternity. Why don’t you allow the Holy Spirit to bring a renewed sense of His presence to your life? This includes the recognition that He has incredible plans for you. He has called you to make a difference through your concerns, your career and your calling.
