Called of God

"You are called of God. The Lord knows you. He knows whom He would have serve in every position in His Church. He chose you. He has prepared a way so that He could issue your call.

You are called to represent the Savior. Your voice to testify becomes the same as His voice, your hands to lift the same as His hands. His work is to bless His Father's spirit children with the opportunity to choose eternal life. So, your calling is to bless lives.

There will be times when you will feel overwhelmed. One of the ways you will be attacked is with the feeling that you are inadequate. But you have access to more than your natural capacities, and you do not work alone. The Lord will magnify what you say and what you do in the eyes of the people you serve."

I came across this quote here. I've been slightly overwhelmed lately with my new calling as primary chorister...It is the farthest from my comfort zone that I have EVER been in a church calling.  I do not like standing up and talking in front of people (yes, I realize that most are children but I am terrified nonetheless).  And I don't sing.  Ok, that's sort of an exaggeration.  I sang in choir in high school.  In a LARGE choir, and sang alto.  So I do not fit the typical "mold" for a primary chorister.  Coming across this quote today was a blessing for me, so I thought I'd share it with you all!
