Call To Service

Isaiah 6:1-13

Before Isaiah saw the Lord, he was a man who proclaimed the Word of the Lord without any love or mercy. His true calling was given to him when he realized his own sinfulness and lack of personal holiness. Our effectiveness to be used of God is not realized until we totally abandoned ourselves to God and serve with pure motives and compassion.
