*I am called by God not by man. Simple enough again, but truth is sometimes we can get too wrapped up in what man has to say about our spiritual lives, its direction and destiny. I believe more today than ever that God’s calling is without repentance (going back on it, changing His mind), whatever that call may be. And that only He can define that call to us and for us. Others will be put in our lives to hone the gifts/callings, and some will be there to confirm those gifts and callings, but only God can define them and set us apart for them. I believe that people have a place in our fulfilling the “call” on our lives. We are not an island and we cannot have an “independent spirit,” but it still is our responsibility to know God for ourselves and to follow His direction. No one else will stand with us in heaven as we give an account of what we did with that which God gave us. So it is my responsibility to know what God has said and to follow Him.
More to come…
