“The many priesthood men I observed while growing up taught me that providing priesthood service to others is not dependent upon a particular title or specific calling or formal position in the kingdom. Rather the opportunity arises from and is inherent within the fact that one has received the priesthood of God.”
How many times have I thought about the callings I would like to have? How many times have I thought I could do a better job in this calling or that? How many times have I been critical about how someone is running their calling? Too many by all accounts. I think this quote gives the proper perspective on things. We (I) should be more concerned about working, regardless of what calling I happen to have at the time.
I also think that each of us probably has work to do that is independent of the callings we have. Yes, callings are important, but surely we have some work to do that is of a higher nature than a calling? After all, callings always change, they are always temporary. But our real work must always be there, always be calling out to us.
