Call

The life of faith encompasses several events and moments that we journey through multiple times during the course of a lifetime. The devotion below is part of an ongoing series that explores these central themes of Christian doctrine.

“For each one of us, there is only one thing necessary: to fulfill our own destiny, according to God’s will, to be what God wants us to be.”  – Thomas Merton

We have each been endowed with a Divine Purpose and a Holy Calling for our lives. It looks different for each person, but that’s because God needs all of us. The unique experiences and gifts that make up our identity can all be used for God’s grand task of restoring creation.

Rather than constantly comparing ourselves and wondering why we can’t be gifted in the ways of others; the call of God invites us to embrace our unique individual identity. God calls us, as we are, to become the fullest expression of ourselves. God calls every individual to serve God’s mission and this call is itself a moment of grace. We do not need to be anything more than who God created us to be.

Peace,
Pastor Nate Preisinger
