From Sunday morning:
What is it that causes people to do things in their life? What causes people to chose a certain career over others? What causes a person to work in a hospital, in the ER, where you’re going to face people in tragic situations – many life threatening – and to deal with that day in and day out. What an amazing thing to cause someone to do that. What is it that causes a person to do that?
What is it that causes someone with a lucrative job and to trade all of that in and walk away and chose something else that pays less?
What is it that causes a person to have a nice home, nice surroundings and to pack all of that up, sell all of that away and move to another part of the world to live in a different culture and a different place?
What is it that causes a person to maybe have their full-time job but on every waking moment after they work and on the weekends they’re giving themselves away for another cause – volunteering of their time?
What is it that causes a person to even give of their money so much so that they scale down to the best of their abilities in their own lives so they can give even more away? What is it that causes people to do those kind of things?
If you were to ask them you would find this in common with everyone of them — there is something deep in their soul – there is a sense of calling to what they were involved in.
They would say, “This is what I do. Money is not the issue. Power is not the issue. Fame is not the issue. I feel a sense of calling to this in my life. And when I am doing this thing it is what I believe I was made for. It is the place that God called me to be.”
