Jesus is Calling

 

The Pursuit of Life

When it comes to living a meaningful life, words like passion, purpose, calling, and gifting often dominate the conversation. Each of these terms holds significance, offering a unique perspective on what it means to live fully. However, amidst all these concepts, one stands above the rest: calling.

Our ultimate calling transcends our passions and purposes. It is the call to follow Jesus Christ and to pursue His Kingdom. This divine call is not just an option; it is the most important pursuit we can undertake in our lives. When we prioritize this calling above all else, everything else falls into place. We find clarity in our passions, direction in our purpose, and fulfillment in our gifting. 

The truth is simple yet profound: Jesus is calling each of us to Himself. He invites us to seek first His Kingdom, trusting that everything else we need will follow. In the words of Scripture, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (Matthew 6:33, NKJV).

In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it is easy to chase after many things—career success, personal happiness, or societal approval. Yet, none of these can offer the lasting fulfillment that comes from aligning our lives with the call of Christ. 

So, let's embrace this journey. Let's make pursuing His Kingdom our highest priority. When we do, we will find not just a good life, but our very best life—the one God has designed uniquely for each of us.
