Who's Your Boss?

The first notion I've had of Young Professionals was that they are those individuals who are young of course but are adult enough to wear cool suits. Well that's how those Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren posters taught me. They're usually the first to own new gadgets and cars. Their time is worth 58k gold. Often, they hang-out in Starbucks, meet clients in Starbucks, have their dates in Starbucks.

Are you one of these Young Professionals? Or do you aspire to be more? I've met those who despite their busy-ness were able to find time to teach and encourage a group. Some were burdened by problems not of their own and they then promoted a cause. Others gave up their suits, gadgets and leisure afternoon coffee to carry a mission of saving lives. These are Young Professionals whose goal is not to be admired by society. Their profession doesn't make much money or bring them to the limelight. They've been called to continue walking Christ's steps and make fishers of men, not with a fishing pole and bait or anything like that. They obeyed to His calling. Their hearts have been unveiled to see the world in His eyes. They become the catalysts in this society. Lives are changed and blessed through them. These people are blessed with so much joy, peace, love and hope that they opt to share them. They were once empty, but now they're full; once weak, now strong; once filled with anger, now love.

Maybe you also have the same calling. Maybe you hear God knocking at your heart saying "My dear child (but we're merely supposed to be servants), I have BIG plans for you. I want to show you how great the extent of your gifts and abilities could become. Will you follow me?"

Will you make Him your BOSS?
