Entering into employment with a large business often looks like this: a head hunter seeks out the best candidates, invites them in for an interview, evaluates the applicant for the best fit to openings, extends an offer, and when accepted pays the new employee to move to the city where the employee is needed.

Entering into service with God looks like this: you are not wanted and you are not needed, you have the worst history of failures and God buys you with the most precious of prizes, His own life. Then rather than uprooting you, They move in with you.

Businesses are looking to see who can best serve their needs. God already knows, because He is God, what He will do in you and thru you to glorify Himself.

May the eyes of your understanding be opened as to Who is at work in you.
