“What is God’s calling for your life?”
For many people of faith, that question is alternately a source of mystery, frustration, confusion, and hope. Does God have a fine-tuned plan for each of us, or is God’s call more general, with the details left up to us?
You will likely find the same number of answers as the number of people that you ask.
Nevertheless, there is work that God calls all of us to do, and it is laid out for us in the Bible. God makes it clear again and again that we are to love others, care for the poor, and live our lives in such a way that we point to the power of the gospel. When we contemplate what God is calling is for our lives, those universal commands are a great place to start.
