Are you called to serve using your gifts, talents and abilities? What does that mean to you? What does it mean to your life? Is this your life purpose or something else? Is this what you are supposed to be doing? How can you know that you're doing the right thing and following the right call to serve? The call to serve is an invitation to use our gifts, talents, and abilities at a higher level. It's not an edict or a demand of performance but it is something that is part of our soul mission, that we agreed to do in our life, and when we receive our call to serve, it is time for us to begin. What if we don’t like our call to serve, can we do something else?
Our call to serve is not an edict to perform for the universe. It is part of our larger soul mission we came here with and when we get the call, which can arrive in many different ways, it is just an activation of this mission and a sign for us to get started on that path. Now this doesn’t mean we don’t have a choice, we do, to a point. And we can ignore it, deny it, or pretend we are not listening.
We may not be ready at that time, we may need more time to adjust our beliefs to accommodate it, we may think we just are not the right person for the job (as I did) and we need a little more encouragement.
But the main point I want to make is that this call to serve is not random occurrence, it is an invitation to step into more of our power and divinity and start expanding our energy. We already have the gifts, talents, and abilities, we already have the tools we need to do the work. We just need to get started.
But it comes at a cost and I think at a soul level we know that, which is why we resist or deny that it’s time for us to serve. Our call to serve demands faith and trust, in ourselves and in the Universe. We do not get to escape the challenges and trials that others experience. In fact, we often have to experience them ourselves so we can learn compassion and assist those who suffer, who grieve, who are hurt, wounded, and who have lost their way. Uriel always says we teach from what we know, so what we experience becomes our platform for inspiring others.
