Summary: I met a man while preaching at a church in New York one snowy January. This man told me, "When I was in university, some 42 years ago, a missionary by the name of John R. Mott came and spoke about the need in the Middle East for ophthalmologists to help treat eye diseases, and I felt the call of God. When he gave the invitation, I made a commitment to go and serve Jesus Christ on the mission field. I made a commitment to use my medical skills for God's glory."Have you felt called by God to do something? As followers of Jesus, we all have a calling. And, if we love God with all our heart and soul and strength, we will do what He calls us to do. Love and obedience cannot be separated. The Lord Jesus Christ made this clear to His disciples when He said, "'If you love me, you will obey what I command.'"What is Jesus Christ asking you to do? Is He calling you to share the gospel with the people in your work place? Or to bring food to a neighbor in need? Regardless of what we may or may not "feel," God has called us to reach our world. Obedience to His call, whether it is something large or seemingly small, is an expression of our love for our Savior.
