When Love Conflicts with God’s Calling

Twilight Radio

Some believe love and calling don’t have to be at odds—that they can walk the same path. And sometimes, that’s true. But not always. Would you be willing to let go of someone you like if their path isn’t the one God is calling you to walk? Would you surrender to stay focused and faithful to your calling?
When pressure mounts, when personal desire collides with divine direction, our choices reveal the true depth of our devotion to Jesus. Whose voice will we follow?

Hiroto is upset-Hanaya never told him about the school meeting with his parents and others (previous clip). He feels blindsided, left out of something that clearly mattered. What stings most is his mom’s threat to Hanaya—something he now feels he should’ve seen coming.
Meanwhile, Hanaya is wrestling with her unspoken feelings for Hiroto and the unsettling uncertainty of whether he truly belongs in her future. She fears that Hiroto may be pursuing the mission path more out of love for her than out of a true calling from Jesus. To her, his affection—deep and sincere as it is—seems to blur his ability to clearly hear Jesus' voice. And that worries her.
In trying to protect both of them, Hanaya says things that may have unintentionally wounded him more deeply than she realized. She wants him to choose calling over love. But Hiroto believes his love for her is part of how his calling is being shaped.
Did the school meeting push Hanaya to speak too soon? Or was it fear—fear that Hiroto isn’t ready for the pressure ahead? Was it the necessary truth that needed to be spoken in love, or Hanaya projecting her own doubts? Did she misread Hiroto’s heart… or did Hiroto misread hers?
Could it be Jesus’ will for Hanaya and Hiroto to be together? Is Hanaya and Hiroto’s love part of Jesus’ plan? Stay tuned to discover what unfolds.
