Named and called

"The Lord called me from birth, from my mother's womb he gave me my name."
Isaiah 49:1
 
It isn't just the "famous" people called into God's service...like John the Baptist, whose birth we commemorate today.  On Pray-As-You-Go this morning, the point is made that we all are called to do God's important work here on earth.  Each one of us is named by God before we are even born into the world.  We are given gifts that will enhance our ability to serve God.  Wow! Makes you sit up a little straighter, doesn't it?  It's a wonderful day to spend some time with God pondering what God wants us to do and to be grateful that we have all we need, already, to do it!  We have God in our corner, cheering us on, giving us tips on how we can do better.  Our job is to look around and see where we can help.  So, today, let's appreciate the fact that we are uniquely gifted with all we need to do God's work.  We are named and called by God to be just who we are!  Isn't that something to celebrate on a summer Tuesday?  I think so!  Love, heidi
