“Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.” Catherine of Siena

One of the New Testament writers wrote to the ordinary everyday believers in God: “I therefore am earnestly calling you to walk in conformity with the calling to which you were called.” The writer is saying, you have a call, now get to it… walk, act and live in a way that matches with the incredible worth and weightiness of this calling that YOU have been given.
