"Loving God" - 3

Having said that, it is important for those that are called by God to know what they are called to do. What is your calling? This is part of the part that Paul is talking about; it is also a main part of what gives us the confidence and the boldness in the love we have for God; that enables us to press forward, even though others may scoff or come against us. Why is that? Because it is God's will; it is God's ministry, mission, or work that you are doing, and not your own. What this does is to change the perspective on what you are doing; where it's not your doing, but God's, and He is allowing you to do, and enabling you through every part of the journey. Paul's life is a great example of what I am talking about, because right from the start he had opposition from all sides. From that fact alone, many would have not went forward; however, for Paul, this was not an option, because he had heard from Jesus: bright and clear. Jeremiah is another example that is along the same line, because as he started his ministry there was opposition from all sides; but just like Paul, quiting was not an option, because he heard directly from God, and was touched by God. The word 'perfect' in 1 Corinthians 13:10, although very similar to the 'perfect' in 1 John 4:17, ("Herein is Love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgement: because as He is, so are we in this world"), they are two very different words; one is the destination, while the other is the action required to be at that destination; or another way to put it: one is complete, and the other is to complete. However, neither of these examples are complete without the other; because as I have mentioned before, the point to Paul's 'perfect' in 1 Corinthians 13:10, is the result of the Love being spoken of in verses 3-8; which is also the same Love spoken of by John in 1 John 4:18, "There is no fear in Love; but perfect Love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in Love."
