When you hear the word “calling,” what comes to mind? I wrote a poem five years ago with my own understanding of that word at that time in my life. The good Lord has a unique way of fine-tuning our thinking. I invite you to come along and see how He tweaked me to “see” what “calling” means through His eyes!

It is no secret that this world is in a mess as we watch on the news and media what is happening all over the world. These signs of the times of mass chaos and destruction from earthquakes, tsunamis, wars, nuclear fall-out, falling economies, and so on are enough to cause one to fear for their very life. Fear not because there is hope…

No one likes being rejected or left out. Do you ever stop and think about how that simple statement applies to Almighty God? He is LOVE and like us, He also desires to be loved and accepted. He sent His only begotten Son Jesus to prove His love and save us from judgment. Are you ready NOW to meet Jesus face to face before He comes back at any time?

I have never been to Niagara Falls but I can only imagine how powerful the sound of the water must be. As great as that may be it cannot even compare to the thunderous sound that awaits us in heaven. We will hear and join the magnitude of the voice of a great multitude of, as the sound of many waters, as we worship the King of Gory.

Think about what it would be like if you found yourself in a life or death situation. What would you do if someone was about to take your life? Surprisingly though, someone stepped in to protect you and save your life but was killed in your place. You would be eternally grateful to him. There is One who did this for all mankind and His name is Jesus. He did it to become your Lord and Savior and to give you everlasting life. Are you living for Him?

There are many things that weigh us down in life, both in the natural world and in the spiritual world. They keep us from being and doing our best. They keep us from ultimate freedom. There is nothing more liberating than experiencing true freedom in Christ. Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed (John 8:36).

We all know what it is like when we haven’t seen a loved one in a long time. Our heart longs to be in their presence. It is no different with God Almighty who created us for His pleasure. Even though we have not seen Him face to face this side of heaven, the day is coming that we will stand before Him and finally be united for eternity. The time is closer than you think.

Stop and think about a moment in your life, a time, or an event that so effected you that you would never be the same again. It changed your perspective or focus like a laser beam. Something inside of you shifted forevermore. This night was one of those defining moments.

Most people are creatures of habit. We seem to prefer comfort more than the discomfort of change or the unknown. It’s easy to think that “someday” we will change or do that thing. My question to you is: Are you living in view of eternity moment by moment? Are you ready to meet the King of Kings face to face and give an accounting for your life now?
