The Calling

This must be my most honest post yet. So I guess it is best to get to the point. Whenever the question of God's calling in my life comes up one verse in the bible stands out over anything else. Matthew 23:37. It reads

"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing"

That verse when it was first read to me stood out like a sore thumb, for lack of a better expression. I could almost feel God's lament and sorrow through the verse which weighed heavily on my heart. I feel that God wants to gather Israel back into His fold again. Yet I have not a clue what to do with it or how I was to proceed. With the future uncertain as it is, I feel that I should pray for confirmation and pray this calling into my life. Why?

There is a Talmudic quotation that says, "whoever saves one life saves the world entire." Christ echoes the same thing when He said in the bible, "when you do it for the least of my brothers, you do it for me." Both make the point that the smallest action can make a world of difference, so I guess if I believe (and I do believe) that this is a God given burden in my life I should just pray and let God guide and work through me to bring it to pass.
