God has a calling for us. If you have trouble believing that because you don't think you're anything special, read your bible. Over and over again, God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things. How do we discover what that calling is? What makes you cry? When you hear about it, see it, etc... what is that it makes you want to do something, even if you don't know how or what? Pray. Pray about that thing and pray that God will show you what it is He wants you to do. What reason He has for putting that thing on your heart. Allow God to answer you. When you hear Him, act on His words. Allow God to move you and be obedient to His voice. Remember our choices have consequences good or bad. Every choice we make causes something to happen. What choice will you make? What will you allow God to do with you, through you, and in you? Whatever God's call, stay connected to Him. In Him you will find the strength and courage you will need to persevere and fulfill His will.
What difference are you willing to make for God today?
Luke 19:41-42
New International Version (NIV)
41 As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it 42 and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes.
Nehemiah 1:1-4
New International Version (NIV)
Nehemiah 1
Nehemiah’s Prayer
1 The words of Nehemiah son of Hakaliah: In the month of Kislev in the twentieth year, while I was in the citadel of Susa, 2 Hanani, one of my brothers, came from Judah with some other men, and I questioned them about the Jewish remnant that had survived the exile, and also about Jerusalem.3 They said to me, “Those who survived the exile and are back in the province are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire.”
4 When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven.
