A Time Will Come

A time will come when you are chosen to do something significant. You may not want to embrace it at first. You might take every opportunity to flee from your responsibility, but it will find you. You cannot escape the inevitable. Right now, you may not know what your calling is, but that is often because you hesitate to answer it. It’s there, hidden between everything you adore and despise.

Look closely at what captures your attention. Ask yourself: What draws me to this? What do I want to do with it?

If you feel completely disillusioned with life, perhaps you see nothing that interests you. That’s okay; it may simply mean you’re asleep. But how do you wake up? Start by embracing honesty—first with yourself, then with others. Acknowledge that you may feel lost. It’s a miracle that you can even read these words. How can we begin to know our purpose? We know through faith.

When you remember something, you trust your mind. You have faith in your Logos. The Word is God. Our ability to communicate is a unique gift that sets humanity apart. It would be a shame to let that gift go to waste. If you feel you don’t express yourself well, commit to learning how.

Alternatively, you might know your purpose but resist it because you feel unworthy. You might be content in your sense of inadequacy. This is a far more challenging situation. Can you convince yourself of your worthiness? No, because in truth, you aren’t worthy of anything—not even the purpose for which you were created. Yet, you still have to act. So do it.

What have you been chosen to do? Discover that, and once you do, refrain from evil. Resist distractions.

If you’re skeptical about God, I encourage you to consider this: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” (Romans 12:2)

If you believe there’s no divine plan for you, you will find none. The plans you create of your own volition will lack a solid foundation. You need to realize you are rooted in something greater than everything.

Allow the spirit of curiosity to guide you toward your life’s calling. Remember, I’m just one person writing a blog. Don’t trust me blindly; trust your instincts and interests. There, you may discover God. And then you may believe in Him.
