I Am Called

Many times people don’t understand what it means to be “called by God”. They believe that being called out by God is reserved only for those people who feel called to ministry, such as youth ministers, pastors, music ministers, and missionaries. However, God calls us all out to do something for Him. Yes, we all equally receive this call on our lives.

First, He calls us to Himself. God’s call to salvation is the first call He makes upon our lives. The salvation given to us through His Son Jesus’ death on the cross is a free gift that we must choose to accept.

Then, God sends the Holy Spirit to live inside of us and with His presence comes spiritual gifts that God gives us to us e to bring glory and honor to Him. God may also call us to do things that we may not feel we have the power or ability to do but He will enable us to do through Him if we just try.

Throughout time God has called many people to do things for Him that felt inadequate and ill prepared to do what God worked through them to accomplish. We can experience the same thing. For through him we become stronger, wiser and more useful.

We are all truly “called” by God!
