In church the other day, I felt like something really clicked in my brain. I want to see if I can share it in a way that makes sense. The pastor asked, “Why were you created?” The answer from the congregation was to share in fellowship with God. The rest of the sermon went on to talk about what it means to be a Christian, a disciple, and how important it is to follow our callings. Now, many years ago, at a writing workshop with my friends, Colleen Crosson & Mark Sloniker, I realized that my calling was to share my love with the world. Okay, stick with me here. From the Bible, we know that God is Love, so:
I was created to share in fellowship with God.
My calling = Sharing my love with the world.
God = Love
Therefore, my calling = Sharing my God with the world
So, I was created to share in fellowship with God. My calling is to share God/Love with the World.
Can it really be that simple? Is this everyone’s calling?
