Checklist in Pursuing your Call

We know from God's word, that He has a plan and a purpose for each one of us.  He has equipped with; gifts—that which we receive from the Holy Spirit, talents—that which we are born with and learned skills, to help us fulfill the call and purposes for our lives.  Some people know from early in life, what it is they want to pursue and accomplish in their lives.  Others have received a prophetic word or a vision from God. Yet there are others still uncertain, what it is exactly they are to do here on earth.  One way in finding out and knowing your purpose is through asking yourself the following questions:

·         What are you passionate about and dream of doing?
·         What are you naturally good at?
·         What breaks your heart?

We read in Eph. 2v10; we have been created In Christ Jesus, to do the good works which God has prepared for us long ago to do.  So, there is something for each one of us to do, in building the Kingdom of God.  We all play a part in God's master plan for humanity.  We all have gifts, talents, and skills to accomplish that, which God has prepared for us.  One day we will have to give an account for what we did with that which was given to us.  
 
Getting to the place of living the purposes and call of God is often challenging.  It is in these moments we feel like quitting and letting go.  Challenges and testing are part of the training regime, for that which God has planned for us.  Press on and pursue that which you believe God has called you to do.
