I’ve always joked that it takes years of interviews for someone to hire me —
mostly because I never went looking for a job.
Every role I’ve ever stepped into came through someone who had already seen my work.
No résumés. No interviews. Just presence meeting need at the right time.
And this morning, I realized something gentle but profound:
Christ has been my longest interviewer.
This discernment has been unfolding for over thirty years —
not through questions, but through quiet proximity.
He was the Teacher then, showing me how to see.
He is the Reviver now, reminding me how to be.
It’s strange, really —
I thought I was preparing for different jobs,
but what I was really preparing for was presence.
Not a career path.
A calling that never stopped asking:
“Will you stay awake to grace, even here?”
Maybe this isn’t the end of the interview at all.
Maybe it’s just the moment I finally realized
who’s been asking the questions all along.
Reflection
We spend so much of life preparing for the next opportunity —
but what if presence is the preparation?
Take a moment to look back:
Where in your life has grace been interviewing you all along—
not for what you can do, but for how deeply you can be?
