Called

"Called"

A new birth has been given to you by God Himself. You are now His child and how does anyone respond to such divine intervention? We are now a part of His family, a part of His Church, a part of His body, and we are called His sons. We are now called friends by our Savior Jesus Christ when once we were His enemies. We have come out into the Light when once we embraced the shadows. Now it is time to find our place where God would have us serve for His glory.

Have you been Called? And, if you have been Called has God not seperated you from all for Himself? And, if you have been seperated are not all things made new? And, if all things have been made new has not God bestowed upon you those spiritual gifts you are now to use?

Only in prayer and worship can answers come from Him Who has chosen you. Once, you existed in the midst of the world with all its appetites, deceit, and desires. You were of this world and with this world in all its futility. Everything the world has to offer in its grandest splendor is futility and a striving for the wind. The time then came when you attained Wisdom, which God gave you, that is without Him all is nothing and nothing is all. God has pulled you from the calamity of falsehood and you know things will never be the same. Oh, it is very lonely at first, standing all by yourself looking back at where there is death and knowing for some reason God has chosen someone as weak as yourself from so many others. Then you notice that there is Someone present just behind you Who is pointing the Way, which no one else can see. You know that He is all that matters and although you may be alone, you are never alone. Although, no one else may be near you know to follow Him Who pulled you from your fallenness. Although, you see many that only understand all that is under the sun you know, are aquainted with, and have a complete reliance upon the One Who stands at your side. His name is True and Faithful.

You have been Called, the question is how will you answer? There is only one way to answer,"Yes Lord, Here am I". In this one simple answer you affirm the Truth. You know He is Lord, you know He is, you know that it is you He is calling, and you know to submit to Him Who is Jesus Christ for all He has already prepared for you. For it is not for you to decide your purpose, but it is God who already knows why He created you. And, it is not you who lead, but God who leads the way for you. And, it is not you who are great, but it is God who works great things through you. How Sovereign, how Great, how Faithful, and how Unchanging is the Lord our God the Father, the Son, and His Holy Spirit!
