Jesus calls you!!! say yes!

Jesus calls you. He calls you again and again. How many times does He have to call you before you will respond? Do not delay any longer. He calls you to Himself. He calls you to live out your vocation every day and at every moment. Your vocation does not lie in the pronouncement of your vows, the day of your ordination, the day you get married -- no -- your vocation lies within the daily self-sacrifice of yourself - daily dying to self and reaching out with the Heart of Christ to others. Do your duties with love, devotion, and attention. Do not pay attention to what you would rather want to do but do what you are told with love in order to give God the glory. Don't think that you would be better off doing some other duty than what is assigned to you. That is God's concern for it is His work, not yours. You hold no position, no power, no knowledge. You have no claim to anything for everything belongs to God. Anything in which you may have was given to you by God and He can take it away at any time. Therefore, do not worry about the future or whether or not you can do this or that. Have no concern at all for what your job may be. Instead, trust fully in God. Do as you are told. Don't neglect your duties and remember that God is given more glory in your obedience to your superiors than if you had the greatest wisdom on earth. God is given more glory if you humbly submit yourself to the will of your superiors or those in charge of your soul than if you were to go out and convert the whole world. In the end, only God matters. Once God said to St. Thomas Aquinas, "You have written well of ME. What reward would you like?" St. Thomas Aquinas responded, "You Lord. My only reward is YOU!" Is God your only reward? Pray. Pray that God will be the only one to fill your heart for only He can satisfy the soul and quench the thirst of your inner most being.


Jesus may be calling you....what are you WAITING for????????? May God's Blessings be upon you.
