A tough calling is to break the spiritual obstacles on the way to the mountaintop. In the present, we don't know why we are facing those obstacles and it seemed hopeless. We cannot find the way through those obstacles, but when we do, we simply went through. Sweats came upon our foreheads. We felt our heartbeats surfacing. We aim high. But in the end, we will be able to look down and see the landscapes. When we do, we understood that those obstacles have made us who we are.
Then "It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be lifted up above the hills; and all the nations shall flow to it, and many peoples shall come, and say: 'Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his path.'" - Isaiah 2:2-4
Break the obstacles. Break the hopeless. Break the impossiblities.
We are called to believe that all things are possible through God who gives us strength. It's a tough calling. I don't know about you, but for me, a tough calling is to bridge the gap between the communities. Galatians 3:28 is sealed upon my heart for several years. But it's been a few years since I started practicing the "Neither hearing nor deaf, but all are one in Christ", I discovered that it is much tougher to be a Deaf ministry leader within a church than it is to be a captain of a girls' basketball team in high school or in college or anything else. I believe that it's because the more you obey your calling and the higher you aim for, the more obstacles were created specifically for you. But hey! Every struggle develops you.
