Called to Suffer

 

The post-modern quest to follow one’s dream calls one to sacrifice to the idol named self.  The Biblical quest to fulfill one’s calling it to receive a burden given by God.  (Isaiah 13:1; 17:1; Nahum 1:1) The first aspires to embrace the pleasure of victory; the second is to shoulder responsibility which will cause suffering.  That suffering may or may not give victory.
