“Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace. For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future.”
Ephesians 4:1-4 NLT

Sister, you have been called.

Not just to a job, a role, or a title, but to a life. A life of purpose. A life set apart for God’s glory. A life that matters.

Some days, it doesn’t feel that way. Maybe you’re knee-deep in laundry, overwhelmed at work, or wondering if anything you do actually makes a difference. Maybe the weight of discouragement or comparison is pressing hard against your heart. But hear this:

Your life is not an accident. Your days are not wasted. You are created on purpose for a purpose.

Paul’s words in Ephesians 4 remind us to live worthy of our calling. That doesn’t mean we have to hustle for our worth or prove our value. No, our worth is already secured in Christ. Instead, it’s an invitation to walk in a way that reflects the One who called us. To choose humility over pride. Gentleness over harshness. Patience over irritation. Love over judgment.

It’s a high calling. One we can’t fulfill on our own. But here’s the good news: We’re not meant to. God’s Spirit in us empowers us to live with intention. His grace sustains us when we fall short. His strength carries us forward when we feel weak. And we don’t walk this road alone. We are part of one body, bound together in love and anchored in the hope of Christ.

So today, wherever you find yourself — whether in the mundane or the momentous — live knowing that you are called. Your life matters. And by God’s grace, you can walk worthy of the calling He has placed on you.

Lord, thank You for calling me to a life of purpose. When I feel discouraged or distracted, help me fix my eyes on You. Fill me with Your Spirit so I can walk in humility, love, and patience. Remind me that my life matters, not because of what I do, but because of who You are. By Your grace, may I live worthy of the calling You have placed on me. Amen.
