CALL

Jesus calls us, o’er the tumult

Of our life’s wild, restless sea.

Cecil Frances Alexander

The responsible person seeks to make his or her whole life a response to the question and call of God.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

It is not what I do that matters, but what a sovereign God chooses to do through me. God does not want worldly successes, He wants me. He wants my heart in submission to Him. Life is not just a few years to spend on self-indulgence and career advancement. It is a privilege, a responsibility, a stewardship to be lived according to a much higher calling, God’s calling. This alone gives true meaning to life.

Elizabeth Dole

If a man is called to be a street-sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven played music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street-sweeper who did his job well.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

God doesn’t call people who are qualified. He calls people who are willing, and then He qualifies them.

Richard Parker
