We often toss around the idea of having a “calling” as if it’s some grand mystical event. Like one day, you’ll hear a booming voice from heaven or get struck by a moment of clarity while sipping your coffee. But let’s get real, most of the time, your calling from God isn’t some dramatic, earth-shattering revelation.
It’s the thing you do naturally every single day, the thing you pour your heart and energy into without even realizing you’re doing it. It’s effortless because it’s deeply ingrained in who you are. This, my friend, is how you recognize what your calling from God is.

Stop Waiting For Magic to Happen
Stop waiting for fireworks. I’ve learned this the hard way. We spend so much time looking outward, waiting for someone to validate our purpose or provide a clear sign from above.
Meanwhile, the signs are already happening within us daily. Your calling isn’t something that needs external confirmation, it’s quietly affirmed by the joy and ease you feel when you’re engaged in it.
What do you do every day without thinking? What naturally pulls at you and consistently shows up in your life? For me, it’s always been helping women take back control of their health and their lives. I can’t help but offer advice, guidance, and support because it comes so naturally. I’m not forcing it; it’s genuinely who I am.

Your calling isn’t limited to a profession or a job title either. Let’s clear that up immediately. People often mistake their occupation for their purpose. Sure, your job can align with your calling, but your calling is much bigger and deeper than just making a living. It’s about impacting lives, touching souls, and making a difference in your unique way, effortlessly and authentically.
Your Calling From God Is What Comes Naturally
What’s the thing people naturally come to me for? Are you the shoulder people lean on when life gets tough? Are you the natural-born leader who steps up when things fall apart?
Maybe you effortlessly create beauty around you, inspiring others through art or words without even trying. God often embeds our calling in the simplest aspects of our everyday lives, so simple, in fact, that we overlook it, dismissing it as “just something I do.”

I also want you to pay attention to the things you lose track of time doing. Have you ever been so deep in an activity that hours feel like minutes?
This state of flow isn’t an accident; it’s a divine whisper nudging you toward your calling. When you’re flowing effortlessly, you’re operating in your God-given zone of genius.
Another thing I’ve realized is that your calling evolves as you do. Don’t get stuck on the idea that you have just one rigid purpose that lasts your entire lifetime. Life changes, and so do you.
As you grow spiritually, emotionally, and mentally, your calling expands, evolves, and sometimes even shifts. What felt purposeful at 20 might change by the time you’re 40. Trust the process, God knows exactly what He’s doing.

Now, let’s talk about the fear factor because, believe me, I’ve been there. Sometimes, your calling scares you because it seems too big, too powerful, or too challenging.
God doesn’t call the qualified; He qualifies the called. If you feel overwhelmed by your purpose, that’s probably a good sign that you’re on the right path. It means it matters deeply, and it means you have to lean on faith to fulfill it.
Don’t overthink it. When you’re constantly worrying about finding your calling, you’re actually blocking it. Your calling is already part of your life, it’s woven into the fabric of your daily routines, your conversations, your interactions, and your thoughts. It’s there when you’re not even looking.
Ultimately, recognizing your calling from God is about awareness and authenticity. It’s about slowing down long enough to see the truth of who you really are and what naturally pours out of you every single day.

Embrace it. Trust it. Live it. Because when you do, you’re not only honoring your true self but also honoring the God who created you.
Stop waiting for a lightning strike. Your calling has been speaking to you all along. It’s the thing you do effortlessly, passionately, and naturally, and it’s already yours.
