An Unexpected Calling

In the Bible we find many people who received an unexpected calling from God. Many of these people were caught by surprise and many had never before considered the task they were given. They responded in many different ways, some with fear (Gideon), some with objections (Moses), some with unbelief (Zechariah), and some with humility (Mary).

I can relate to these stories well, as my journey to serve with Love God Greatly was very similar. The memory of my first reaction to the invitation to join makes me smile. God’s thoughts and plans were so different from mine. I agreed to help with the translation work, but I was quite reluctant to consider leadership. The idea that God would want to use me to build the Slovak branch of Love God Greatly seemed impossible. I only saw my lack of experience and ambition to lead others, but God saw His work being done through my weakness.

I’m thankful for the lessons God is teaching me through this ministry, and I know that my fears and doubts cannot stop what God is doing. The way I perceive my efforts has no say in what God will do through me. Even what I think about myself cannot replace what God says about me. What matters is God’s point of view. He is the One who knows me best, and I can be a tool in His hands despite my weakness and uncertainty.

It has been so exciting to see God bring more and more women to serve in the Slovak branch over the past year. Our team is a colorful group with members from various churches and age groups, equipped with different gifts and skills to be used in God’s service. What we all share is a desire to love God greatly and see Him transform the lives of women in Slovakia through His Word. What a privilege it is to be His servants, working together!
