The Full Measure of You

The next time you think about your creativity, consider the fishermen before they met Jesus in Galilee. They excelled at their craft. Fishing likely brought these men some level of joy, but then Jesus invited them into something truer. In an instant, expert fishermen became “fishers of men.” They traded the foreshadowing of their prior calling for a full measure of what they were born to be. Their truer calling.

The enemy does not want us to awaken to our truer calling with God. He’s happy to play any song we want other than the theme song of our life . . . the one that God sings over us. The enemy hates when you discover that song instead of the playlist that lulls your soul into mere duty and obligation.

But it all begins with your heart. That’s why Scripture tells us we need to protect, guard, and nurture our heart above all else (Proverbs 4:23). You will never experience the fantastical or be able to care for the hearts of others if your own heart is numb. But once it awakens to the beauty of life with God, look out!
