People often ask one of the deepest questions a human heart can ask:

What is my calling?

It is a beautiful question when it comes from surrender. But it can become a dangerous question when it comes from striving.

For many believers, “calling” immediately becomes a question of position, platform, promotion, ministry, location, or personal assignment.

“What am I supposed to do?”
“Where am I supposed to go?”
“What am I supposed to build?”
“What is my purpose?”

Those are not bad questions. But they are not the first question.

Before God calls us to build anything for Him, He calls us to Himself. Before He gives us tools, He invites us to the table. Before He sends us into the field, He forms us in the house. Before we understand the work of His hands, we must learn the sound of His voice (Mark 3:14; John 10:27).

This is why Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 1 is so important. He was writing to believers who already had faith in the Lord Jesus and love for all the saints. They were not unbelievers. They were not spiritually dead. They were not strangers to the family of God (Ephesians 1:15–16; Ephesians 2:19).

And yet Paul continued to pray for them, because even with faith and love, they were still missing something. There was still more for them to see.

What did he pray?

He prayed that the Father of glory would give them the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, that the eyes of their understanding would be enlightened, so they would know the hope of His calling (Ephesians 1:17–18).

That phrase is easy to read quickly:

the hope of His calling.

But if we slow down, we realize Paul did not say, “that you may know the hope of your calling.”

He said, “His calling.”

This changes everything.

The hope of His calling is not first about my dream, my ministry, my title, my future, or my assignment. The hope of His calling begins with His desire.

And what is His desire?

Paul tells us plainly: his prayer is that we would receive the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him (Ephesians 1:17).

Not know about Him only.
Not work for Him from a distance.
Not perform religious activity hoping He will approve.
Not build something impressive and ask Him to bless it afterward.

His calling is that we would know Him better.

The hope of His calling is that His sons and daughters would draw near, hear the Father’s voice, receive the Son’s love, and walk in fellowship with the Holy Spirit (John 17:3; Romans 8:14–16; 2 Corinthians 13:14).

The calling is not first to a position.
The calling is to a Person.
And the calling comes from a Person.

The Wrong Kind of Hope

There is a kind of hope that sounds spiritual but is actually rooted in orphan thinking.

“I hope God likes this.”
“I hope this is enough.”
“I hope He notices me.”
“I hope this makes Him pleased with me.”
“I hope I finally do enough to feel secure.”

That is not the hope of His calling.

That is performance wearing religious clothing.

That kind of hope is built on sand because it begins with self. It depends on human strength, human understanding, human effort, human approval, and human imagination (Matthew 7:24–27; Jeremiah 17:5).

It is the hope of the orphan heart.

The orphan heart says, “I need to do something so I can belong.”

The son says, “I belong, and because I am loved, I want to obey” (Romans 8:15–17; Galatians 4:6–7; John 14:15).

The orphan heart builds and says, “Look what I made for You.”

The son stands near the Father and asks, “What are You building, and how can I help?”

There is a big difference.

Imagine a king with two sons.

The first son runs out of the palace, gathers materials, works day and night, and builds something he thinks will impress his father. When it is finished, he says, “Father, look what I did for you.”

But the king says, “Son, I love you, but I never asked you to build that.”

The second son stands beside his father. He waits. He listens. He learns the father’s heart. He watches the father’s hands. Then, when the father gives him instructions, he goes with confidence because he is not guessing. He is obeying.

Many believers are exhausted because they have been trying to fulfill an assignment God never gave them. They have been striving to answer a call they did not first wait to hear.

This is the difference between assigned works and assumed works.

Assigned works are the good works God prepared beforehand for us to walk in. Assumed works are the things we take upon ourselves because they seem good, impressive, urgent, or spiritual.

The issue is not always whether the work is good. The question is whether it was given.

God prepares.
We walk.

When the Father assigns it, He gives grace for it. When we assume it, we often have to sustain it in our own strength.

That is why the son waits near the Father. He does not want to be busy with work that heaven did not assign. He wants to walk in the works prepared beforehand.

Faith Gives Substance, Hope Gives Direction

Hebrews 11:1 says that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Faith gives substance.
Hope gives direction.

Faith is what gives foundation to what God has spoken. But hope helps us see where His word is calling us to walk (Hebrews 11:1; Romans 4:18–21).

If I cannot see the hope of His calling, I may use faith only to survive where I am instead of stepping into where He is calling me.

Faith can keep me standing.
Hope helps me move forward.

This matters because there is a difference between human hope and divine hope.

Human hope says, “Maybe it will happen.”

Divine hope says, “God has spoken, and I will wait on Him” (Psalm 130:5; Isaiah 40:31).

Human hope is fragile. Divine hope is an anchor (Hebrews 6:19).

Human hope is often attached to outcomes. Divine hope is attached to God Himself.

Human hope gets sick when delay comes. Proverbs says hope deferred makes the heart sick. Many believers know exactly what that feels like. They prayed. They believed. They waited. Something did not happen the way they expected. Over time, their faith may still be present and their love may still be real, but their hope becomes injured (Proverbs 13:12).

They still love God.
They still believe God.
But they are afraid to hope again.

That is why Paul prayed for the eyes of their understanding to be enlightened. Injured hope cannot be healed by motivational language alone. Injured hope needs revelation (Ephesians 1:17–18).

We do not need a better fantasy.

We need to see what God sees.

What Does Hope Look Like?

So what does hope actually look like?

Psalm 130:5 says, “I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in His word I do hope.”

Biblical hope is not passive wishing. It is not sitting in disappointment, wondering if God will ever speak.

Biblical hope waits with expectation because it believes God wants to speak to me.

The hope of His calling is the hope that I can hear His voice.

This is why hope and waiting belong together. To hope in the Lord is to wait for the Lord. But this kind of waiting is not empty. It is filled with holy anticipation.

Romans 15:13 says, “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

That means hope has spiritual fruit.

When hope comes from God, it does not fill the soul with anxiety. It fills the soul with joy and peace in believing.

Even the preparation to hear His voice can become a place of joy and peace, because the God of hope is the One preparing us.

This is very different from human hope.

Human hope waits nervously.
Divine hope waits expectantly.

Human hope says, “What if He does not speak?”
Divine hope says, “My Shepherd’s sheep hear His voice.”

Human hope is restless.
Divine hope creates room.

Think of a young bride waiting for a call from her beloved. She is not waiting because she doubts his love. She is waiting because she expects to hear his voice. Her waiting is full of desire, attention, and readiness.

That is a picture of hope.

Hope makes room to hear.
Hope turns down the noise.
Hope keeps the heart awake.

Hope says, “Lord, I believe You want to speak. I am listening.”

And this is where many believers have lost hope. They have not only lost hope for answered prayer. They have lost hope that they can hear the voice of God.

They still believe in God.
They still love the saints.
They may still serve, give, pray, worship, and read Scripture.

But deep down, they no longer expect to hear Him.

That is why Paul’s prayer matters so much. He prayed for believers who already had faith and love, but still needed the eyes of their understanding enlightened so they could know the hope of His calling.

The hope of His calling is not only that I would know what to do.

It is that I would know Him well enough to hear when He calls.

Peter Did Not Step on Water

When Peter stepped out of the boat, he was not ultimately standing on water.

He was standing on a word.

Jesus said, “Come” (Matthew 14:28–29).

That one word carried the foundation Peter needed. The water could not hold him, but the word could.

The foundation was already there, but Peter could not see it with natural eyes. He had to move in obedience before the foundation became visible beneath his feet.

In the natural, we want the foundation first. Then we will step.

But in the Kingdom, God often gives the word first. Then, as we obey, the foundation appears beneath us.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for (Hebrews 11:1).

When Peter looked at Jesus, the word under his feet held him. But when he looked at the wind and waves, divine hope gave way to human reasoning, and he began to sink (Matthew 14:30).

When our eyes are fixed on Jesus, His word becomes rock beneath our feet. When our eyes are fixed on circumstances, our confidence becomes sand (Matthew 7:24–27; Hebrews 12:2).

The question is not only, “Do you believe?”

The question is also, “Can you see?”

Can you see the hope of His calling?
Can you see that He is calling you to Himself?
Can you see that the foundation is already present in His word?
Can you see that obedience is not stepping into nothing, but stepping onto what He has already spoken?

It Is Not in You, But It Is Available to You

One of the most freeing truths we can receive is this:

It is not in us.

The courage is not in us.
The holiness is not in us.
The wisdom is not in us.
The strength is not in us.
The purity is not in us.
The ability to become like Jesus is not in our human nature.

But it is available to us.

To me, this brings such a great sense of relief. I do not have to produce the divine nature in my own strength. That takes the pressure off and frees me to fix my eyes on Him, the author and perfecter of my faith, hope and love (Hebrews 12:2).

God never asked the human nature to produce the divine nature. He gives us the divine nature through Christ.

Second Peter 1 says His divine power has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of Him. It also says we have been given exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these we may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust (2 Peter 1:3–4).

That is the problem and the answer in the same passage.

The problem is corruption through lust. The answer is participation in the divine nature. The snare is human nature. The escape is divine nature.

This is especially important in a generation where moral impurity has become one of the enemy’s most effective traps. Pornography, lust, secrecy, shame, fantasy, and hidden compromise do not simply attack behavior. They attack confidence.

They hinder our ability to come boldly to the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16).
They distort our ability to hear the Holy Spirit (John 16:13).
They undermine our sense of belonging (Romans 8:15–16).
They corrupt the Bride’s holiness (Ephesians 5:25–27).

The enemy knows that if he can keep believers trapped in shame, he can keep them hiding from the very Presence that would heal them.

But Jesus did not come to shame His Bride. He came to cleanse her.

Ephesians 5 says Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her, and present her to Himself as a glorious church, without spot or wrinkle (Ephesians 5:25–27).

That is the hope of His calling.

He is not calling us into holiness because He is disgusted with us. He is calling us into holiness because He loves us and wants us close to Him at all times.

Holiness is not the price we pay to be loved.

Holiness is what His love produces in us (1 John 4:19; Titus 2:11–14).

The Sevenfold Spirit of God

Isaiah 11 describes the Spirit of the Lord resting upon the Messiah:

The Spirit of the Lord (Holiness),
the Spirit of Wisdom,
the Spirit of Understanding,
the Spirit of Counsel,
the Spirit of Might,
the Spirit of Knowledge,
and the Spirit of the Fear of the Lord (Reverential Love) (Isaiah 11:2).

Revelation also speaks of the Seven Spirits of God before the throne (Revelation 1:4; Revelation 4:5; Revelation 5:6).

This does not mean there are seven different Holy Spirits. There is one Holy Spirit. But Scripture reveals the sevenfold fullness, ministry, and expression of the Spirit of God. The Seven Spirits of God reveal the complete and perfect ministry of the one Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:4–6; Ephesians 4:4).

The Holy Spirit is not a vague force. He is the Spirit of the Father and the Son (John 14:16–17; John 15:26; Galatians 4:6).

He reveals Jesus.
He glorifies Jesus.
He speaks what He hears.
He guides us into truth.
He shows us things to come (John 16:13–15).

John 16 reveals the beautiful fellowship of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Jesus said, “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.” Then He promised that when the Spirit of truth came, He would guide us into all truth (John 16:12–13).

The Holy Spirit does not speak on His own authority. He speaks what He hears, and He takes what belongs to Jesus and declares it to us. And Jesus said that all things the Father has are His (John 16:13–15).

This means the Holy Spirit is not speaking apart from the Father and the Son. He is bringing us into the shared counsel, love, and truth of God Himself.

And this same fellowship is opened to us in prayer. Jesus said that when we pray in His name, we can ask the Father directly. We are not praying as outsiders. We come to the Father in the name of the Son, by the help of the Holy Spirit (John 16:23–27; Romans 8:26–27; Ephesians 2:18).

This means there are things Jesus wants to teach us that we can only receive through fellowship with the Holy Spirit.

The written Word is our anchor, foundation, and judge. The Holy Spirit will never speak contrary to Scripture. But Scripture was never given to replace fellowship with God. It was given to lead us into fellowship with Him.

We read the Word so we can know His nature, discern His voice, and recognize His thoughts when the Holy Spirit speaks them to our hearts.

If we ignore the Holy Spirit, we should not be surprised when we struggle to hear the voice of God. If we never acknowledge Him, how will we learn to recognize Him?

Proverbs says, “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths” (Proverbs 3:6).

Acknowledgment is not complicated.

You do not have to wait until you understand everything. You can begin right now by acknowledging Him and welcoming His ministry in your life.

Holy Spirit, I acknowledge You. I welcome Your sevenfold ministry of:

Holiness to cleanse me and make me a resting place for Jesus.
Might to strengthen me with courage and endurance.
Reverential Love to keep my heart bowed low.
Counsel to guide my decisions.
Knowledge to help me know what I need to know.
Understanding to open my eyes.
Wisdom to teach me to walk in Your ways.

This is not striving.

This is how intimacy begins.

The Holy Spirit does not need us to perform for Him. He wants us to acknowledge His presence, welcome His leadership, and make room for Him to fill us.

Once we acknowledge the Holy Spirit, we must learn how He forms us.

Meditate Until You Marinate

The Bible tells us to meditate on the Word of God. But sometimes the word “meditate” can sound like another task to perform (Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1:2).

A helpful picture is to think of meditation as marination.

To meditate is to marinate.

Esther did not become ready for the king in one rushed moment. She went through a preparation process. There was cleansing, fragrance, waiting, and transformation. She soaked in the oils and perfumes prepared for her until the fragrance became part of her (Esther 2:12).

That is a picture of what the Holy Spirit does in us.

We do not transform ourselves into the Bride of Christ by panic, pressure, or self-improvement. We let the Holy Spirit marinate our thoughts, emotions, desires, decisions, imagination, and will (Romans 12:2; 2 Corinthians 3:18).

We sit with the Word.
We pray in the Spirit.
We listen in the Spirit.
We wait on the Lord.

We let Him exchange our weakness for His strength.

Isaiah says those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. That word “renew” carries the idea of exchange (Isaiah 40:31).

Waiting on the Lord is not passive.

It is the place of exchange.

My weakness for His strength.
My fear for His courage.
My confusion for His counsel.
My striving for His peace.
My impurity for His holiness.
My human hope for His divine hope.

But formation does not only happen in quiet moments. Sometimes hope is formed under pressure.

Trust and Trial

Romans 5 gives us another pathway into hope.

Tribulation produces perseverance.
Perseverance produces character.
Character produces hope.

And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:3–5).

Why does hope not disappoint?

Because hope is not left alone.

As we wait on the Lord, the love of God is poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. Waiting on the Lord is not waiting in abandonment. It is waiting in love (Romans 5:5; Isaiah 40:31).

The Father does not only give us hope for what is ahead. He pours His love into us while we wait, so our hope becomes anchored in His heart, not only in an outcome.

This is precious, but it is not always painless.

There are some things we learn by revelation. There are some things we learn by pressure.

There are some truths the Holy Spirit wants to teach us in the secret place. But if we refuse to listen, life has a way of taking us through trials that expose what we did not let Him heal (Psalm 139:23–24; Hebrews 12:5–11).

This does not mean all suffering is punishment. It does not mean we can avoid every trial by knowing the Seven Spirits of God. Jesus told us plainly that in this world we would have tribulation (John 16:33).

But it does mean we have a choice in how we are formed.

We can choose trust before trial has to become our teacher.

Every day, there are two doors in front of us:

Trust and Trial.

Trust says, “Father, teach me now. Search me now. Correct me now. Lead me now. I do not want to wait until pain forces me to surrender.”

Trial says, “I will keep doing it my way until the consequences teach me what wisdom was trying to tell me.”

God loves us too much to leave us unformed (Hebrews 12:6).

But the way of trust is better than the way of unnecessary pain.

This is why the Word cannot remain information only. It must be received, believed, and obeyed.

The Word Must Be Mixed with Faith

There is a simple picture in salt.

In the natural, sodium and chlorine are dangerous by themselves. But when they are rightly joined, they become salt, something useful and necessary.

Spiritually, the Word must be mixed with faith.

The Word without faith can become information we argue about but never obey. Faith without the Word can become imagination, presumption, or zeal without truth.

But when the Word of God is mixed with faith in the heart of a surrendered believer, something powerful is formed (Hebrews 4:2).

We become the salt of the earth (Matthew 5:13).

This is why speaking the Word matters.

Many believers are waiting to feel strong before they speak. But often, strength comes as we speak what God has said.

Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17).

This includes hearing your own voice agree with God.

There are moments when the most spiritual thing you can do is open your mouth and say:

I belong to Jesus (1 Corinthians 6:19–20).
I am not a slave to fear (Romans 8:15).
I have received the Spirit of adoption (Romans 8:15).
I am a son of God (Galatians 3:26).
I am a daughter of God (2 Corinthians 6:18).
I take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5).
I am a partaker of the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4).
The Holy Spirit strengthens me with might in my inner man (Ephesians 3:16).
The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want (Psalm 23:1).
No weapon formed against me shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
I will not hide in shame (Genesis 3:8–10; Hebrews 4:16).
I come boldly to the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16).
Jesus is cleansing me, forming me, and calling me closer (Ephesians 5:25–27; Philippians 1:6).

This is not empty repetition.

This is supernatural participation.

The promises of God are not meant to remain ideas on a page. They are meant to be believed in the heart, spoken with the mouth, and walked out in obedience (Romans 10:8–10; James 1:22).

Take Every Thought Captive Verbally

Many battles are lost in the pause before a choice.

The hardest part is not always making the right choice. Sometimes the hardest part is deciding whether we are going to choose at all.

That place of hesitation can become dangerous.

When temptation comes, the human mind wants to negotiate.

“Just for a moment.”
“No one will know.”
“I can handle it.”
“I will stop tomorrow.”
“This is not that serious.”
“I already failed anyway.”

That is where the snare tightens.

But Scripture gives us a strategy: take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:4–5).

Do not only think against the thought.

You were given the sword of the Spirit for a reason.

Use it (Ephesians 6:17).

Jesus answered temptation with, “It is written” (Matthew 4:1–11).

We can do the same.

When lust speaks, say, “I will set nothing wicked before my eyes. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever.” (Psalm 101:3; Psalm 19:9)

When fear speaks, say, “God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7)

When shame speaks, say, “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.” (Romans 8:1)

When accusation speaks, say, “No weapon formed against me shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against me in judgment is condemned.” (Isaiah 54:17)

When confusion speaks, say, “God is not the author of confusion but of peace.” (1 Corinthians 14:33)

When hopelessness speaks, say, “This hope I have is an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast.” (Hebrews 6:19)

Not because we are strong in ourselves, but because the weapons of our warfare are mighty in God (2 Corinthians 10:4).

The Word spoken in faith becomes a sword.

A Child in the House, A Son on Assignment

There is a part of our relationship with the Father that must always remain childlike.

Jesus said unless we change and become as little children, we will by no means enter the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 18:3).

A child in the Father’s house is free to come close. A child can run into the room. A child can ask simple questions. A child can rest without pretending to be impressive.

We never outgrow that.

But there is also a maturity God forms in us.

As sons and daughters mature, assignments come. Responsibility increases. Authority increases. Stewardship increases (Galatians 4:1–7; Luke 16:10–12).

In the Father’s house, we remain childlike in trust. On the Father’s mission, we mature in responsibility.

This protects us from two errors.

The first error is childishness without maturity. This wants comfort, blessing, inheritance, and attention without formation.

The second error is ministry without intimacy. This wants responsibility, visibility, and authority without remaining near the Father.

Jesus modeled the perfect life of Sonship. He did nothing of Himself. He only did what He saw His Father doing (John 5:19).

That is the hope of His calling.

To live so close to the Father, through Jesus, by the Holy Spirit, that we can hear the next thing He says.

The Bride Being Prepared

The hope of His calling is not only about individual purpose. It is about a Bride being prepared for a Bridegroom (Ephesians 5:25–27; Revelation 19:7).

Jesus is not returning for performers.

He is returning for a Bride.

A Bride who knows Him, loves Him, and recognizes His voice (John 10:27).

A Church washed by the water of the Word, holy and without spot or wrinkle (Ephesians 5:26–27).

A people not seduced by the world, the flesh, or the devil (1 John 2:15–17; Galatians 5:16–17; Ephesians 6:11).

Mature sons and daughters with oil in their lamps, ready when He calls (Matthew 25:1–13).

This is why holiness matters. This is why hope matters. This is why the Holy Spirit matters.

The enemy is not only trying to make Christians behave badly. He is trying to corrupt the intimacy between Christ and His Bride (2 Corinthians 11:2–3).

But Jesus has already provided everything we need.

He gave us His blood for our redemption,
His Word for our cleansing,
His Spirit for our transformation,
His promises so we could partake of His divine nature,
His armor so we could stand,
His name so we could pray,
and His presence so we would never be orphans (Ephesians 1:7; Ephesians 5:26; 2 Corinthians 3:18; 2 Peter 1:4; Ephesians 6:10–18; John 16:23–24; John 14:18).

A Simple Way to Begin

So how do we walk in the hope of His calling?

We begin simply.

1. Acknowledge Him

Holy Spirit, I acknowledge You.

This may sound too simple, but it is often the missing step.

We must not only believe in the Holy Spirit as a doctrine. We must welcome Him as the One Jesus sent to guide us into all truth and lead us into deeper fellowship with the Father and the Son (John 14:16–17; John 16:13–15; 2 Corinthians 13:14).

2. Ask for revelation

Father of glory, give me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You. Open the eyes of my understanding. Let me know the hope of Your calling (Ephesians 1:17–18).

3. Wait with the Word and make room to listen

Do not rush past Scripture. Read slowly. Listen. Pray in the Spirit. Let the Word marinate your soul.

Then create time and space to listen.

Turn off the noise. Leave your phone somewhere safe and walk away from it. Keep a pen and paper nearby.

Ask simply, “Lord, what is on Your heart today? What are You thinking about?”

Then wait.

Write down what you hear in your spirit, and test it by the written Word, the nature of Jesus, and the peace of the Holy Spirit.

4. Speak what God says

When the enemy speaks, answer with truth. When your mind wanders, pray in the Spirit. When shame tells you to hide, let the Word lead you boldly back to the throne of grace (Matthew 4:1–11; Jude 20; Hebrews 4:16).

5. Obey the next call

Do not demand the whole blueprint before you obey the next instruction.

Peter did not receive a map across the water.

He received one word.

Come. (Matthew 14:28–29)

A Prayer for the Hope of His Calling

Heavenly Father,

I come to You in the name of Jesus.

Open the eyes of my understanding and let me know the hope of Your calling.

Deliver me from human hope, religious striving, and assignments You never gave me.

Draw me closer to Your heart.

Holy Spirit, I acknowledge You.

Cleanse me with Your holiness.
Strengthen me with Your might.
Guide me with Your counsel.
Fill me with reverential love.
Open my eyes with understanding.
Give me clarity through knowledge.
Order my steps in wisdom.

I welcome You into the hidden places of my heart.

Exchange my weakness for Your strength, my striving for Your peace, and my human nature for the divine nature You have made available through Christ.

Keep me childlike in Your house and mature me as a son or daughter on assignment.

Teach me to wait with hope, listen with faith, and obey with love.

And when You call, help my heart stay near enough to recognize Your voice.

In Jesus’ mighty name,

Amen.

Final Thought

The hope of His calling is not, “I hope God likes what I built.”

The hope of His calling is, “I know Him, I wait for Him, I hear Him, and I trust Him enough to come when He calls.”

Hope prepares my soul to hear.

The answer to the question is not complicated.

What is my calling?

To know Him better than I did yesterday…

To know Him better than I do right now.

And out of knowing Him better, we begin to live in the hope of His calling.
