I have been meditating on the call of God, as I was running between the washing machine and the packing boxes. Surprisingly there arrived an article as well on Elijah List talking about > When the Lion roars His Call is nor tame. I know there are a general calling of God for all His children. To follow Jesus, to love Him with all our hearts all our strength …. And to love our neighbor as ourselves. This call is unavoidable and important.
Then there is the specific calling: you know that you know….kind of thing from the time we were born or even before birth. The assignment God has on our life might be to a specific place, nation, people group, or a particular task or office. For some of us we carry it in our heart like a baby or gift or talent and we treasure it and move or run to the place where it will be invested and or deliver it.
I see a trend in missions that the assignments are so professionalized that we don't have the interest, or sensitivity or patience with those who carry a specific call. And we might lose them. And some of them have to go and pursue it by them self. Becoming vulnerable and at risk as they lack the opportunity to have a social structure or the belonging to a network where they can be accountable, loved and encouraged.
I know there is more to this but something to trigger our thoughts and prayers for those at risk.
