Do You Know Your Calling?
Posted by: | Comments
I listened the other day to an inspiring message by Kevin Miller on "calling." I was especially interested in the topic because helping people find their calling has always been part of my calling.
Kevin built his message around the Frederick Buechner definition of calling: “The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.”
That got me to pondering what my own calling is. I've known it for quite some time, but it feels like God keeps refining and clarifying it for me.
My calling is actually based on another quote, this time from Henry David Thoreau: "Most men live lives of quiet desperation, and die with the song still in them." My "deep gladness" has always been to help people to hear and express the song God put in them to sing.
