We say, I am a lawyer. I am a teacher. I am a pastor. I am a street sweeper. But we are not our vocation.
What will happen when the vocation ends? Will we become nothing? Some feel a tremendous loss when their vocation ends because they have misidentified themselves with their particular work.
You are not your vocation.
What you are, what I am is a soul, here on this earth to love. Some spend their lives loving themselves, loving their status or trying to protect their beauty. When we engage in such behavior we have misused our love.
What matters in this life is that we love. Everyone. Everyone that we possibly can. You may lose your title as Pastor or teacher or bus driver. You never lose the ability to love, and this is where the true joy is found in life. Beyond our vocation, before our vocation, alongside our vocation, underneath our vocation has always been the opportunity to love.
Find people to love and you have found your life’s work.
It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
