"The Calling"

So initially I messaged these quotes to a friend but then I realized that we all need a little encouragement sometimes, no matter how abrasive the truth behind the words may be.

In the book, "Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership" the Author contrasts the calling, the ministry, the struggles and the mountain top God moments from the life of Moses. I identify with Moses most of the time... Identity issues, fears, the unknown...

Here are a few quotes from the chapter "The Conundrum of Calling":


"There is a difference between knowing your path and walking your path."

"Ministry is always much harder than we think."

"It's hard to keep answering a calling that continually takes us right out to the edge of our faith and our human limitations."

"But a true leader is one who ...has seen a vision of what could be and who continues to take steps in that direction against all odds."

"For Moses: After the initial excitement, leading his people was just plain hard all the time."

"This is about the Spirit of God setting us on our feet and telling us: THIS IS YOURS TO DO. WHETHER THEY HEAR OR REFUSE TO HEAR, WHETHER IT FEELS TO YOU AS IF YOU ARE FAILING OR SUCCEEDING, YOU ARE TO SPEAK MY WORDS."
