There are a lot of different ways to know what God has called you to do with your life.
Your passions. Your talents. Your experiences. Even your misery.
But one of the greatest ways you can confirm it is by figuring out what by God’s grace you can do in a supernatural way that others can’t. In other words, what are you able to push through that seems insane or impossible to others but is relatively easy for you?
You may be able to read, study, think, and write for hours on end and do it effortlessly. You even enjoy it. But to somebody else, even making it through one book a year would be a major accomplishment.
Or you may be able to coordinate a dinner party for fifteen friends managing all the details and preparations. And you love doing it. But to somebody else, even having one family over for dinner is enough to push their stress levels through the roof.
You’re not able to do it simply because you work harder. In fact, you may have to put in half the effort other people do to get the same results. You’re able to do it because you have been wired for it. It’s part of your unique, God-given makeup. And the fact that you’re graced to do it means it’s part of how God wants to use your life.
The next time you find yourself pushing through something that would have caused most people to quit a long time ago, stop for just one second and recognize something:
You may have just found your calling.
