HE IS CALLING US

“And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.  And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?  And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.  And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked?  Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?  And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.  And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done?  And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.”

Genesis 3:8-13 KJV

When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, Adam blamed Eve and Eve blamed the serpent.  Isn’t this what we do a lot of times?  Instead of accepting the blame when we do something wrong, we blame others.  It is time that we admit that we sometimes fail God and ask Him to forgive us. 

If we will listen with our heart, we will hear God calling us to serve His Son.  We read in the Bible “Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?  Then said I, Here am I; send me” (Isaiah 6:8).  Have you answered the call and told Jesus you will go for Him?

He may not be calling us to go to a different country as a foreign missionary but He is calling us to tell everyone about the good news of our risen Saviour.  Our service to Jesus depends on our love for Him.  How much do you love Him and how much are you willing to do for Him?  O how I love Jesus!
