In your vocation in life, there will be many things that will take you away in many different directions. Stay close to the Lord, because He alone really knows the purpose that he has for you.
Oh, I have my preferences, but my preferences are so puny and my comfort zone is so little. What God wants to do for you is so much bigger, but it’s risky and it will involve great trust.
Therefore, if you are to follow John the Baptist, follow Isaiah, follow David, follow all the other people, the saints of the Old and New Testament, don’t ask God to simply do what fits your preference, but say, "God, what is my greatness, for I’m fearfully yet wonderfully made? What do you want me to do?”
On that adventure, He will lead you in a way that will not just impact your life, but many others: and that is His story.
