Contemplating some upcoming changes, it hit me yesterday that God sometimes calls us to hard places to draw nearer to Him, to trust Him more, and to know Him more intimately. Sometimes, God calls us higher through the hard, the pain. He knows.

I encourage you to listen to this clip from Joni Eareckson Tada on the subject. It touched my heart and continues to challenge me this morning.

Meditating on the thoughts this morning, this song came on my playlist.

Called Higher. Wow… what a perspective!

Are you being called higher as well? Are you willing to say, “Not my will, Lord, but Yours!”?
