calling

Maybe it's the same with you, that the question about calling is just coming up again and again. Conversations with a friend visiting this week helped me a lot to just clarify my understanding about what God has called me to, regardless of the situation and location I'm in.

What is our very first calling in life? Simply, to seek the Lord.

In other words he expressed it this way: To maintain a pure heart before our Lord and to continuously labour for his Kingdom in prayer and deed.

This goes in line with the words of my corps officer: "Being at the very center of God's will more about having a right heart before God than that it is about location."

I know, this doesn't answer specific questions about God's calling on our lives individually, but it helps to get the foundation straight.
