Everybody is made by God for a purpose.  So you could experience joy! 

But one little thing that we must talk about!

Response by people in the Bible:

Matt 4:19-20 - Jump at once.

Acts 9 - At once he began to preach.

Exodus 4 -  Give an excuse.  Be resistance.

Jonah 1 - Ran away from the Lord

Jeremiah 1 -  Give an excuse.

1)  Yes please, I will go.
2)  We are not so sure we want to do this.

Calling produces joy, but in some cases it produces resistance.  

Let's explore the resistance.

Uncover my deepest desire in the world.  Something happened.  I learned that my deepest desire was the one thing that I didn't want.  Makes resistance easy.

Paired pleasure and eating so we can survive. 

Craving for nutrients not flavors.  Respond to the deep craving for nutrients, the body will respond. 

Like if you respond to the calling you will have joy.

Another reason for resistance:  Calling introduces us to limits and limits introduce us to pain and grief.   But we don't want to have limits.

 As bad as the limits where, joy was produced because your deepest desire is being fulfilled. 

Grieving moves us to resignation to acceptance.   (Both non-resistance, but acceptance is born of peace.   
Acceptance is born of when you move on.

When you move on there is the joy! 

The bridge between resignation and acceptance is a bridge called grief.

If you are looking to sort out your calling.  You may be interested in some weekend retreats.  See the brochures at www.marshill.org. 

If you have found your song, please enjoy the purpose.
