EXPECTATION!
Beloved congregation,
A melody of a great purpose resonates within each of us. It's the rhythm of God's calling – a divine summons to a life of significance. With love that transcends human comprehension, God invites us to journey beyond the ordinary, to embrace the extraordinary.
This calling isn't a mere coincidence. It's a deliberate design, intricately woven into the fabric of our beings. Each of us possesses a unique destiny, a purpose that awaits our discovery. God's plan for us is more magnificent than we can fathom, more profound than we can imagine.
Yet, the noise of the world often drowns out this divine melody. Doubts, fears, and insecurities cloud our understanding of God's purpose for our lives. We question whether we're worthy, whether we're capable. But know this – God's call is not a mistake, and His plan for you is not based on your perceived limitations.
In the Bible, we see numerous examples of individuals who answered God's call despite their doubts – Moses, Gideon, Esther, and many more. They didn't have it all figured out; they didn't possess unshakable confidence. What they had was faith – faith that God's call equips those He chooses.
God's call is not dependent on your qualifications; it's dependent on your willingness. When you surrender your doubts and fears to Him, He empowers you with the strength to fulfill His purpose for your life. It's not about who you are; it's about who He is in you.
Beloved, don't let the noise of doubt drown out the melody of God's call. Embrace His purpose for you with humility and faith. Trust that He who calls you is faithful to equip you. Answer His call not with self-assurance, but with surrendered trust. Step into the magnificent plan He has prepared for you.
In conclusion, remember that God's call is your invitation to a life of significance, a life that echoes with eternity. When you answer His call, you step onto a path that leads to fulfillment beyond your imagination. May each of us have the courage to respond, "Here I am, Lord, send me."
Amen.
