I know the calling that God has placed upon my life, and I long to be faithful to see it fulfilled…
With this being the start of a new year, it is fashionable, I suppose, to make all kinds of resolutions, promises and pledges. I, however, will do none of these things. People from all walks of life do these things in their own strength and with their good intentions. But what is the value of mere human effort? I will make no vows or promises. Instead, I want to put myself at the feet of God's throne of grace to ask Him for help in going on.
As trials and tribulations and discouragements assail me, I do not want to ever give up. I may grow weary, true. But it is not a sin to be tired and worn. For even Jesus faced these things. Though He was God, yet He was human. This is a mystery.
For myself, I can only say what is in my heart. I have a calling from a God who desires that I remain faithful. Yet I have very real enemies both within and without. Within are my lusts, and my flesh must be brought under subjection every day. Without are my enemies, the haters of David Berkowitz, who will not be satisfied until I am dead, and my testimony is destroyed.
Still, I must continue learning to be content with what God has for me. For I know there is more to this life than living and dying. There is within my soul a yearning for God, to truly know God and to fellowship with Him.
This divine calling is in me. Each day, it points me towards my heavenly home. And perhaps soon I will be there to forever behold my Creator face to face.
