“To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.” 1 Peter 2:21
YOU are called. Called not to live a life of your own, but to follow in Christ steps.
The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on you,
because the LORD has anointed you
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent you to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
Adapted Isaiah 61:1-3 NIV
YOU are anointed, appointed, and called!

Thanks for visiting my blog and the lovely comment. God is a God of trust and if we trust and follow in his steps than we are certainly reacting to his calling. God bless.
