Daily Bread Bonus: You Have A Specific Role

Hello All,

Lately, I have been having trouble sleeping.

It's just a phase I'm going through because things have been a little bit stressful in my life lately.

I am aware that everything will be all right again, but until then all kind of thoughts are running through my head, every single night, while I'm trying to fall asleep.

My wife is not happy about that at all because I often wake her up to share the ideas that come to my mind.

But now, let me share one of those thoughts with you.

It's related to every person's calling, including myself.

One night, I just couldn't help but wonder: Am I living a life worthy of Christ's calling?

As Christians, we are called to serve the Lord, always and at all times, with all the love.

We were created in a unique and special way by the Lord.

Maybe you cannot believe, but every person has a specific role in this universe.

The Lord, in His plan, wrote to everyone, a role that they must exercise in their life.

Easy to say hard to do.

I meet many scared, sad, abusive people because they do not know this role or better said their own call.

First of all, I want to explain that we are talking about the general call and the special call.

The general call is to please the Lord, live and be like Him.

The special call is specific to each individual, that is, each person, according to their gift with which they were endowed, and works for the completion of the general call.

And now comes the question: How can I know what my call is?

We are often tempted to compare ourselves with others, falling into disappointment, and sadness.

We see others as preaching, evangelizing, singing, and we want to be like them.

We often forget that we all have special gifts, made by God to be of use to others and the widening of His Kingdom.

The problem is that we are not looking for them, but we remain depressed, letting our hearts be darkened by disappointment and fog.

We forget that what one can do, we cannot and vice versa.

Every man has his own way and it's his duty to discover his way. Many Christians engage in various works without the Lord's approval that their place is there.

We cannot live in this chaos.

"11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up" (Ephesians 4: 11-12)

So, first of all, I must say that it requires a state of humility, obedience, guidance, introspection, light, and desire to seek this own way.

It will not be easy, but with the Lord, our mind will be enlightened, and we will know in what direction we are going.

In order to know our own calling, we must learn to be at His disposal. Many times, we ask in prayer to be like Jesus.

We do not realize that we are actually asking the Holy Spirit to do the work in us.

Let's let ourselves be guided by Him to find our destiny. And here, the ultimate destiny is His Kingdom.

But each one of us has a fate for us to reach its ultimate goal.

It takes time, prayer and patience, so that things calm down and take shape. It cannot be all at once.

Step by step, the Lord will guide us all.

But for this, I advise you to look for your own calling, which will echo in His kingdom.

Don't forget: what moves your heart... that is your calling, and you'll find what you want only by searching for it.

Are you living a life worthy of Christ's Calling?

Did you try to dig deep into your heart to search for that special calling?

I do not know my purpose. I do know my general purpose. My calling...I'm still trying to figure that out. I have mental images that cannot be expressed easily of what I am, but every time I try to explain those images they elude me.

Hi @xmaas, there is nothing wrong with not knowing yet. Praise God you know your general purpose, for that is a great start and you are ahead of most. Sometimes Godly images elude us in speech bc "our mind is not God's mind." He lets us see it in our mind, but it is hard to communicate bc it is just for you and maybe not meant to be shared. Remember when Jesus healed people and then told them not to tell anyone? That's bc that miracle was just for them, which after they told people God still used them as an example and put them in scripture for us to learn from 🙌. Unfortunately, I dont have any words of wisdom to help you find your calling, but fortunate for us God does 😃🔥. Jesus said "Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock at the door, and behold I will answer." (Matthew 7:7) Another great verse from God: "Call to me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things you do not know." (Jeremiah 33:3) These two verses have particular meaning for me bc it is how I found my calling. I encourage you to seek him, ask, knock, and call out to Him who rules all. If you do this, stay in His Word, do your best to find out who Jesus really is, and call to Him... He will show you your calling. I hope this is encouraging and lifts you up Brother. May God Bless You and Keep You, and may you find your true calling in God Almighty and Jesus Christ. May the favor of Our Father be upon you in this journey. Sincerely, Servant of Yeshua 7
P.S. Narley Beard Brother. I love it and sport one myself. Shalom (Divine Peace) to you.

The phrase "my cup overfloweth" comes to mind. Your words were divinely inspired and touched my heart. Thank you.
