God is Calling

A Vocation Is Not a Command, It's an Invitation
The 4th Sunday of Easter - Good Shepherd Sunday

God is always calling. He is capable of communicating.

It’s not complicated to hear the call of the Lord.

He has plans for you and for me. It’s in tuning into his plan that we become the people of joy and peace.

Total Abandonment

We hear the Lord’s word through total abandonment. Give him your heart. Turn everything over to the Lord. Tell him you’ll do whatever he wants. When he wants to move you to something he’ll get through, he’ll write on your heart.

It is worth throwing your life away for him.

When You’re Ready

He will communicate his word to you when you need it. He will give you his word faithfully and truthfully.

Conclusion

There’s nothing to be afraid of, nothing to be worried about. The Good Shepherd wants to take care of his sheep.
