Every day I wake up I THANK GOD for another day. I was told many times that I was called to ministry of the WORD OF GOD, but lately it seems like it’s not going to come to pass. I know you are supposed to have faith but it’s just not that easy. I want to do right but it seems life won’t allow it. I LOVE GOD and I’m always going to look to him, believe, and be a man of GOD but how long is it going to take me to get to where I need to be and where GOD needs me to be?

Future Pastor

Dear Future Pastor,
The meaning of Future is later, not now. People see in you, the light, and your potential. They see that you have the love of God in your heart and they are affirming for you, probably through HIM, that you have a calling. When that time will come, no one but God knows. If you love God, then you know that God has you exactly where he wants you to be. It is not your time, but that should not take away from your worship. Why doesn’t it seem like it will come to pass? You don’t agree with what they see? EVEN when you do fill that spot that is for you, you will yet be a human struggling to be like HIM! Enjoy the journey because when you get there it will NOT be easy. Are you ready for other people’s burdens? Are you ready for MORE scrutiny? Being in that position is VERY hard so remember, be careful what you ask for because when you get it is when the work BEGINS, NOT ENDS! He is building you up so that once you get there, you will stay!
