On Calling (1)
This afternoon, I'm still thinking about the subject, as we're taking this course together on discerning God's will and been discussing quite a lot about the subject.
I am quite amazed at the numbers of books published around this subject. And that means there're plenty of views and explanations. Really amazed...that probably there're still more out there with their views about this subject than all the books available. And with that, the possibility is enormous.
I'm quite glad that we did attend the lecture last night. We've learnt few good stuff. And personally I'm thankful for the fact that it did re-enforce my belief & 'sense of calling' that otherwise going to die
. As usual, I'm person who like to do and gets my hands dirty. The dirtier the better, coz that means I really get hangs of it, turn it upside down, and I'm still at home with it. So yah, excited to experiment with this finding, whether what I think is correct. I pray this will do good for pen as well. (to be explained later)
Back to the matter of calling, what was taught last nite re-enforce my belief...that first and foremost of calling...not a call to do something. But actually a call to belong to someone. A call to belonging said P Steven. The moment I think the other way, that calling is summon to do something, I would have missed out the whole point. I would reduce God to simply a taskmaster. Whenever I would come to him, is like asking for the next task to be completed. Not very far from seeking him for the gifts. At the end of the day, all becomes about me. I'm the superstar with all the gifts, or I am the superman with all the tasks done. And God becomes the superbank where I draw all the gifts and tasks and resources I need.
