THE HEART OF SERVICE
Calling is not always about a specific role or title; it is the spirit with which we live our daily lives.
My Lovelies,
What is my calling?
It’s a question that often feels large and mysterious, as if the answer must arrive in a dramatic moment or a life-altering revelation. I’ve come to understand that calling often reveals itself in much quieter ways.
More often than not, it begins with service.
Jesus showed us this in the most profound way. Though He carried divine authority, He lived a life deeply rooted in serving others. He cared for the overlooked, healed the hurting, and spent time with people who were often ignored by society.
The heart of service does not always appear in extraordinary moments. Sometimes it is offering encouragement when someone feels discouraged. Sometimes it is listening patiently when someone needs to be heard. Sometimes it is simply showing up when others choose convenience instead.
When we serve others sincerely, we begin to see the world differently. We become more aware of the needs around us, and in that awareness, something beautiful begins to unfold: our purpose slowly takes shape.
You may not always recognise it immediately, but the small acts of kindness you offer can become the very path through which your calling grows. Calling is not always about a specific role or title; it is the spirit with which we live our daily lives.
It is about choosing humility when pride would be easier. It is about extending grace when frustration feels justified. It is about using whatever gifts God has placed within you to make someone else’s journey a little lighter.
When we live with a heart of service, something remarkable happens.
Our focus shifts away from constantly asking, “What can I gain?” and begins asking, “How can I help?”
And in that shift, purpose begins to bloom naturally.
With a heart of service,
Temi Olu 🤍
