Your calling costs more than your gift. In today's episode, we ask ourselves a very fundamental question - "Do I know what I am called into?" You may be celebrated for your gift, but your calling is what will protect your gift. The gift comes from God's generosity, and the love of God is expressed in our lives through the giftings of God. Your gift creates a platform for you to meet with God. God is perfecting the person, not merely polishing the gift. A gift is going to put money into your account, but a calling is going to bring contentment in your spirit. Giftedness can look like calling, until obedience is tested. No one needs to teach you your gift, but someone needs to teach you your calling. A calling is divine summons, that reveals purpose. Your calling only shows up when God is ready to activate His will upon the earth through you. The Gift can make room but only calling gives direction. key scriptures - Romans 11:29, 1Samuel 16:18 and verse 12, Exodus 31:1-4, Acts 7:22, Exodus 3:7
