How to Find your calling?

 

God's special call is extremely rare - and is not based on our will and our self-assessment. Why one can only experience vocations but not seek them.

 

Find your calling! This sentence can be found in countless book covers, also and especially in the area of Christian counseling literature. The authors call on their readers to search for God's calling for their own life and give them the tools they need to do so. Usually these are questionnaires and tests for self-assessment, Neighborly love especially on one's own talents and preferences. Are you more of an introvert or an extrovert? Do you make decisions with your head or your gut? Would you rather design the website or set up the stage for an event? If you have filled out everything correctly, you will receive your result and thus your calling at the same time.

 

Vocation has nothing to do with strengths and talents

One is inclined to ask: Have these authors read a real vocation story? Maybe in the Scriptures? Of course this would be a rhetorical question because if they did they would have noticed some things.
