Sunburst or Sunrise

       Sometimes God’s call on our lives is like a “sunburst” where just all of the sun appears over the mountain or through the clouds or sometimes it is like a “sunrise” where the sun gradually rises from the midnight’s rest.

       My call was a “sunrise” where gradually God was calling and showing me His will for my life.

       I believe God calls all of us to our place of ministry. For some it’s teaching Sunday School. For some its greeting at the door. I am confident God has placed a call on every heart that has decided to follow Him.



       I hope you have both heard and followed your call, no matter how it came to you.
