You having a calling and a purpose. You have not been placed where you are and doing what you’re doing by accident. Life isn’t always easy, but every step you take makes you who you are.
With that being said, you cannot fulfill your calling or fully live out your purpose through your own strength. Anyone who receives Christ and accepts all that He is receives His power to make them strong.
Following your calling isn’t an option. It is a necessity for those who call Jesus their Lord and Savior. His Spirit brings great power.
This power at work in you and through you is what accomplishes more than you could ever imagine. Before Jesus was even born, it was God’s plan to use Him to be the Savior for all of us—the ultimate sacrifice.
No human could reconcile the relationship between God and man. Only Jesus could complete this restoration because He was God made flesh for the purpose of being the only sacrifice you and I would need.
As Christ breathed His last breaths on the cross, He proclaimed, “It is finished.” This is always taken to mean that His life was done and He had fulfilled what the Father sent Him to do.
This moment is monumental to our faith though. He did not mean that it was finished and over. He meant the plan was finished and complete.
His willing sacrifice bridged the gap of sin that had been in existence since Adam and Eve were in the Garden and ate the forbidden fruit. The plan is complete now that His Spirit lives in you.
Through the power of the cross He is at work still in this world through you. Some don’t understand this or don’t believe it even when you tell them.
But even those who don’t believe will one day experience something or meet someone at just the right time and realize they are here for a reason and have a calling to live out.
Never stop praying for those who don’t yet believe. God is using you to influence them. His work is far from over.
Who are you praying for that has yet to grab ahold of Savior’s unending love and grace?
