I have friends pastoring big churches. I have friends pastoring small churches. I have friends who are great worship leaders. I have friends that are serving Jesus in a country that isn't home.
And there are days when I get jealous of other's calling.
I admit it. I am guilty of this. In my eyes it's a sin to be dissatisfied with the life that God has called you to live. So I confess that my jealousy of others negatively affects my relationship with God.
When we want something we weren't created for or commanded to have its a sin akin to what happened in the garden. Adam and Eve wanted a life, a knowledge, they weren't created for. And in the biggest understatement ever- their relationship with God was negatively affected.
And I don't want my relationship with Jesus to be hindered. So I must focus on what I do have, on who God did call me to be.
He called me to be a creative communicator of His message.
He called me to help those around me develop a deeper with relationship with Him.
He called me to be and act like he created me.
So no, I may not be a missionary or lead musical worship, but that's ok. Because whatever, wherever, whenever, however God lays out my life it's probably better than what I would want anyway.
