WHEN GOD CALLED
WHEN GOD CALLED
among whom are you also, who are called her one........
-Romans 1;6
I just came out from the Mass when I saw my phone with two missed calls. One was from my mom and other from someone important in our prayer community.
I returned my mom's call. She just reminded me of an some errand. Then In called the VIP in our prayer community. The first question he asked was," can you leave your works for 10 days? I was a freelancer then so that wasn't a problem. Next, he asked if I had valid passport, which I did.
Then the biggest shock of my life came when he told me that he recommended me to be a trainee the pilgrimages tour leader in the Holy Land. I almost fell out in the chair. I asked him if I was qualified since I didn't have any background in tourism. I wasn't familiar with Biblical and sites. But he replied, "neither am I. All I did was just say "yes" to God's call."
So I did. I said yes without knowing what to expect. Two weeks later, I was on the plane going to the Holy Land for my training.
I've since led many pilgrimages in various holy places in different parts of the world all because I said "yes" when God called.
Reflection: No matter who you are or how gruesome your past was, God will call you and use you because He believes that you can.
lord, prepare me to fulfill my mission you have planned for me, Equip me and make me ready to answer Your call.
