Don't Shrink Your Calling

Tuesday, January 26, 2021

As children, our parents often bought us clothes a few sizes too large because they knew that we were growing, and eventually they would fit. In the same way, believers start out their walks aspiring for the heights. But after they mess up or don't see all that they hoped to see, they start trying to shrink their calling. They lower their expectations, because they are uncomfortable with the gap between what their life currently is, and what their life is to become. But your calling does not shrink or decrease. God's gifts and callings are irrevocable. It hasn't shrunk. God knows that you will grow into it. Keep growing. If you don't fit into your calling, that's the whole point. If you did there'd be nothing to be called to. Don't give up the calling, give up the doubt. Believe a few sizes bigger than you are. Believe you'll become a person of victory, of righteousness, a person of the Spirit, of joy, of purity, and of unstoppable love. Because God will only give you a calling that is perfectly tailored a few sizes too big.rn
