“For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.”
Roman 11: 29
Lord this verse stopped me cold this morning.
Irrevocable?
You mean the gifts you have given me are final, unchangeable?
The calling I have experienced from you – they are irreversible and fixed forever in your kingdom.
I can’t quit?
I can’t stamp them with “return to Sender?”
I can’t deny them?
In your compassionate benevolence, you give everyone gifts. What an adventure life becomes to discover your hidden treasures and to take them into your world.
You call each of us in unique and matchless directions. Others need us to answer that call permanently etched onto our hearts by your fingers and love.
Guess this means you can’t and won’t take these gifts and vocation back either. You have deeply and eternally wired us as you designed us.
Irrevocable – are your gifts.
Irrevocable – is your calling.
Irrevocable – is your love.
Irrevocable. Such a strong word. Such a strong God to make it so! So thankful his love is irrevocable. I’m glad you made me stop and notice the word, Jean.
That word just held me too, Lisa. and when we use it to describe God is become even more powerful!
Hi Jean! I think this passage gives me so much peace because I am so changeable. Sometimes I think I do have work to do for him, sometimes I wonder if it’s all gone. But all our gifts and talents are irrevocable, always there, never taken away. That is cause for peace for me!
Great to see you again as always!
Blessings,
Ceil
What a wonderful way to recognize and appreciate the gifts God has given us – irrevocable!
Blessings, Jean!
I love when one word or phrase jump off the page and into my heart. It lingers and teaches. God is so good! Have a great week Martha!!
