calling

tonight we were discussing eph. 2, i think, maybe 4. but either way, it was talking about being "worthy of the call" and everyone began discussing what our callings are/were. i think we think in terms of smaller, more practical things like vocation, location, etc. and these things are def. not insignificant. but i wonder what kind of people we would become if we understood that our calling in life, above all else is to love jesus. and the rest is a loss. a loss...can we possible grasp that. the ways and places  in which we are to love jesus will come and fall neatly in place as we worry less about them and concentrate only on loving jesus.

people always ask PK what he's going to do for God with his degree, with his music, etc...which leads us to think, isn't enough to love God and do what he's put in your heart to do?

but i agree with you, the calling is simple. the rest falls in place as it should- we are simply to love.

as artists we have a special calling to be artists, to leave the earth a little more beautiful than it was when we got here. that in itself, while loving jesus and inviting him to guide us, is the most beautiful gift. it's hard to have people understand that. they either get it or they don't. like sarah said, we are simply to love.
