Vocation
Vocation
The truth that God calls us to Himself so decisively that everything we are, everything we do, and everything we have is invested with special devotion, dynamism, and direction lived out as a response to his summons and service.
1. Primary Calling – We are called to Someone (God)
2. Secondary Calling – Our personal response to God’s call
Os Guinness
Vocation
“Vocation does not mean a goal that I pursue. It means a calling that I hear. Before I can tell my life what I want to do with it, I must listen to my life telling me who I am. I must listen for the truths and values at the heart of my own identity, not the standards by which I must live – but the standards by which I cannot help but live if I am living my own life.”
“Our deepest calling is to grow into our own authentic selfhood, whether or not it conforms to some image of who we ought to be.”
Parker Palmer from Let Your Life Speak
Vocation
“The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.”
Frederick Buechner
Vocation
“Your profession is not what brings home your weekly paycheck, your profession is what you're put here on earth to do, with such passion and such intensity that it becomes spiritual in calling.”
Vincent van Gogh
Vocation
When we are heeding our calling,
“we are offering our gifts in service to something we are passionate about in an environment that is consistent with our core values”
