Knowing that God speaks to His children in all sorts of unique ways, we suddenly recognized His voice speaking to us from the creativity of writers and actors on our television screen. We identified with the heroes. We saw ourselves playing the role assigned to us by the God of the Galaxies. We became aware in a way unlike ever before that we were on a mission which would influence millions, change the course of history, and create spiritual wavelengths which would echo into the centuries to come.
Excited by the prospect of finding our true purpose, we searched for clues. We prayed for wisdom and guidance. We searched the sacred text of our Bibles and studied the writings of many and watched for attributes to immerge which would reveal our divine destiny. We took personality and spiritual gift tests to narrow the scope. Eventually, we had enough clues to piece the puzzle together, and our spirits soared with great enthusiasm. We looked back over our life and realized that the destiny had been there all along and every step of the journey was preparation for the main event.
But still we questioned whether we could actually fulfill our mission. We knew our impulsive nature had caused us to make some terribly bad choices in the past, so we wondered if this was God’s call or just a delusion of grandeur. The thought of God calling us to something of eternal magnitude seemed a little ridiculous and really crazy.
We had to question whether our passionate reaction to the prospect of hearing this divine call was our love for Him or our own search for significance? Maybe it was both. And maybe that was okay.
Was it presumptuous to think that the God of the Universe had hand selected us to do something special for Him?
- Was it ego…or was it faith?
- Would we really be able to participate in bringing the Kingdom to earth?
- Were we truly able to alter the course of history?
Our skeptical voices questioned, “Why would God call me?”
Our awakened spirits responded, “Why not me?”
