The work to which God directs us is not an external task waiting for someone to come along and do it. It is not as though God has a roster of duties with a name placed beside each one of them. The work God gives us is not primarily determined by external factors. The work of God is to bring to actuality all the potential inherent in our individual human nature. We are not so much called to do as to become. Our primary God-given task is to become the person whom God has called into being.
