Hear these “call” words from my supervisor and the Provost of Southeastern Seminary:
There will be days in your ministry that you will feel lost and lonely. You will experience defeat and disappointment, and you will walk through seasons of hurt and heartache. In those times, you will be tempted to explore other possibilities and will seriously consider walking away. But your calling will be the anchor that does not allow you to drift in the storms of doubt and despair. You won’t give up, because you know you can’t. You’ve been called. At times your calling will be all that you can cling to, all that you have to keep you going. But, be reassured, “He who calls you is faithful” (1 Thess 5:24). The good work that he has begun in you, he will continue it until his plan for you is ultimately fulfilled in Christ Jesus (Phil 1:6).
