We are called to this journey not because we’re qualified, but because of our identity. The same God who created us and spoke our identity into us also calls us and forms us into maturity. Will we walk with Him, accepting our calling, on this journey?

When preparing for a journey, it is important to know where we’re headed and to plan for spontaneous changes. We are called to go on a journey; not because we are qualified, but because of who we are. But where does our identity come from? God speaks His identity into us. As we prepare to walk with Jesus on this journey of becoming like Him, we can rest in the assurance that He does not call the equipped; He equips the called.
