The Will of God as a Way of Life Quotes

“Jesus wants us to devote our time and energy to all the little tasks we must do every day, not just to the big decisions we have to make every so often. The little responsibilities we do prepare us for big responsibilities later on, good decisions in the little things set the stage for big opportunities yet to come, and faithfulness in things that appear to have only modest importance enables us to respond wisely to duties that seem—and perhaps are—very important.”

“We come to know the will of God as a life calling through experience itself. We discover what our calling is in the same way an artist paints on a canvas or a person falls in love. We learn by trying, by experimenting, by doing. Our calling is inseparable from the journey. In one sense, it is the journey.”
