Being Happy, being called

Awaiting evening prayer today I realised that I was only happy when I was doing what I was called to do.

Not what I thought was best, but doing what I was meant to do.

Society will encourage us to earn more money, gain more influence.  We may be attracted to important, ‘sexy’ and prestigious roles.  Even our relatives may not have our best interests at heart.  When in fact we are called to do something simple and well.

In addition to loving God with all your heart, ALL you soul and your mind.  I am called to work, simple domestic work.  I am not called to be a priest, deacon, an officer, a manager rather to be humble before God and others.  When I serve, when I clean toilets, wash up then I feel fulfilled.

We each are called.  Pray that you come to know to what you are called to.  If you strive to follow Christ, it be something humble and humbling, not proud or arrogant.

Read 1 Corinthians 12:12
