Called Me Higher

     Not long ago I was thanking God for expecting and wanting more from me.  Not because he's dissatisfied with who we are as individuals, but like a good father wants the best for his children.  I wasn't able to articulate it so eloquently as the song I discovered soon after named "Called Me Higher" by All Sons and Daughters.  Praise the Father who pushes us to be the best possible versions of ourselves.  It proves He truly cares, for those who believe in Deism.

     Like Jonah, he may call us to Nineveh, which will be difficult but rewarding, but we will find a peace in the discomfort.  We will be strengthened by the hardships and be better for it on the other end.  I could stay and be comfortable.  I could not challenge myself and not grow.  I could stay but what will happen if I go?  I want to be more.

     Challenge accepted.

James 1:22-25
22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.
