Today's message reminded me of my true calling: 1 Pet 2:9 "...a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light."
I've been living a life that I can say is *not* truly aligned with my calling. It's really unfortunate. You might agree that there will be times I can feel the emptiness inside, the longing for something better, the desire for more spiritual fulfillment, that I have been there at the pedestal of my spiritual life and now living laid back, far away from expectations, not doing what a Christian is.
The reminders came in 4 C's:
(1) Commitment - Acts 20:24; 1 Kings 15:14; Philippians 3:7
(2) Consistency - Philippians 1:3-5; Colossians 4:17; Philippians 3:16
(3) Courage - Joshua 1:6; 1 Chronicles 28:20
(4) Confidence - Philippians 1:6; Hebrews 3:14; 2 Thessalonians 3:4
Apostle Paul's letter to Timothy is very inspiring:
2 Timothy 4:6-8 For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time has come for my departure. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
Maybe it's my time to be "Paul" to my "Timothys" and finish the course.
