Can You Hear Me Now??

Sometimes the voice of God is more difficult to hear than we'd like.  Like a cell phone in a dead zone, we are often left out of range for one reason or another.  Sometimes, we end up in places with better reception than others; but we lose the signal shortly after we get His call.  Sometimes, our attention is diverted by the catchy ring tone of His competition.  But more often than not, the signal is strong enough for us to hear God's call, if we have the courage to answer it...

If you go to church regularly, you no doubt are aware of God's call for His people to serve Him by serving others.  Some people answer the call by volunteering in their church, or in their community.  Some people work in a service-oriented field, from teaching to nursing to the military, etc.  Some people serve within their immediate families, by way of their daily activities and accomplishments.

But there is more to answering the call than just the basic act of service.  One must remember to serve as Jesus did, without regard for social status, health risks, or recompense.  One must remember to serve with an open heart and mind, ever aware of the reason behind the action.  One must remember that to truly serve is to LOVE.

God is calling all of us.  He is shouting, "Can you hear me now??"  Hopefully you are in range of His call, and can wholeheartedly answer with a resounding, "YES!"
