What does it mean to be called by God? What does it look like? Sound like? Feel like?
Is it the big booming voice on the mountaintop commanding Moses to go down to Pharaoh? Is
it a whisper in the heart encouraging us to go to sit with the child in the lunchroom who's all
by herself?
Through Called, children will discover how God can and will call anyone. Jeremiah heard the
call when he was "just a child." Mary and Martha heard the call when Jesus came to visit. Can
you hear the call?
If not, why not?
If you can hear it, how are you responding?
Are you worried that you're not up to it - that you're somehow unworthy of the call?
Take heart! God has put something beautiful in you and is calling on you to share it with the
world. It won't always be easy, but God knows you and believes in you…even when you forget
to believe in yourself.
God is not calling you to be someone else.
God is not calling you to be like someone else.
God is calling you because you're you.
You are a child of God.
You are worthy.
You. Are. Called.
