49 I came to cast fire on the earth, and would that it were already kindled! 50 I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how great is my distress until it is accomplished! ~ Luke 12:49-50
Jesus understood His mission. He understood His call in life. He knew the importance of it to the point that it distressed Him. His call was His focus. It was His North Star, if you will. It led Him back to the Father. It led Him forward to whatever He needed to accomplish. It led Him in every endeavor in life. He understood the urgency of fulfilling that call because He was on fire for God. That fire inside of Him, He wanted to share with the world. He needed to share with the world. It was like it was shut up in His bones, and He had to release it. This is His desire for us.
So, many of us know our call. We can feel it deep within us, but we refuse to chase after it. We refuse to let it direct us. Maybe it’s because of fear. Maybe it’s because of depression, doubt, or anxiety. Maybe we’re battling a sin we don’t feel God can save and redeem us from. Whatever may be blocking and hindering you from fulfilling your call, you have to tear it down. You can’t allow it to overcome you. You have to overcome it. You have to master it so that you can fulfill the call of God at all costs.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Be Distressed By Your Call.
