Okay, guys and gals...
I love great quotes... This is one of the best... One of my good friends reminded me of this quote during the time Janet and I were struggling to find God's will for our lives. It spoke profoundly to our lives.
“There are all different kinds of voices calling to you, all different kinds of work and the problem is finding out which is the voice of God, rather than that of society, say, or the super-ego or self-interest. By and large, a good rule for finding out is this: The kind of work God usually calls you to, is the kind of work (a) that you need most to do, and (b) that the world most needs to be done.”
“The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.” (Frederick Buechner, Wishful Thinking: A Theological ABC (New York: Harper & Row, 1973), 95.)
Where does your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet?
