The calling of God.

“Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall.” 2 Peter 1:10

A missionary asked me a question today. He knows someone who may want to come and be a missionary in Haiti. What advice could I give? Does he have the true calling of God to be a missionary? There is a difference between a calling and a desire. If you come to Haiti or any other mission field with just a desire… When you run out of money, the temperature is unbearable, you have left your friends and loved ones, everything goes wrong, you find out you are not living in a glory cloud, the desire will leave fast… they always return back home.

The true calling of God will keep you and burn within your heart like a flame! No matter how tough it may become, you know the Lord has called you!
