KRISTINA

Good Morning! My name is Kristina Crabtree, Minister of Spiritual Formation at Central United Methodist Church. What do you think of when I say “the call of God”? What does it mean to have a call? Do I have a call? Do only certain people have a calling in life?

These are the many questions that automatically rise up within us when we think about the call of God on our lives. First, we are all created in the image of God so in a sense we all have the same calling to bear his image into the world but at the same time God has made us all unique in that he lives through us through our callings.

The call of God is not a reflection of our own nature or our own personal desires. If we dwell on our own qualities and traits and think about what we are or are not suited for, we will miss the call of God on our lives. I don’t want you to miss God’s call in your life. God loves you and wants to live through you to this hurting world. Now go, live, as God has made you. Have a great day!
