Singer-songwriter Michael Card once

“Behind every specific call, whether it is to teach or preach or write or encourage or comfort, there is a deeper call that gives shape to the first: the call to give ourselves away–the call to die.”
Hmmm…
Could it be the reason so many have such a hard time discovering their calling is that they aren’t willing to die to themselves and give themselves away?
That’s highly probable…
Especially when we remember that Jesus said:
“For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it” (Mt.16:25).
Don’t let your own idea of what your life should be keep you from knowing and experiencing what God’s calling you to be.
