Jesus has a simple call to all of us. It is an individual call, and it is the most important call.
Jesus said, "Follow me."
This isn't always the easiest call, but it is the call to eternal life and significance.
Rick Warren, the author of the all-time best selling book next to the Bible, says that life is lived at three levels.
The first level is survival. This is merely getting by in life.
The second level is success. This is the life of material things.
The third level is significance. This is the life of fulfilled purpose and value.
Significance starts with following Jesus. It starts by believing upon Him. Trusting Him. Obeying His Word. Living a life putting the Kingdom of God first. Then everything falls into place. It is often a life of sacrifice and selfless living, but without losing one's life you cannot find it.
I chose the simple call. I can understand it. I will follow Jesus.

Good post! One must know His voice to truly follow Him. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. (John 10:4 NIV) The question we must all ask do we know His voice? It might surprise some when they first hear it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennifer. God has a significant plan for you that begins and ends by following Him. Keep your eyes on Him for He holds the keys.
