When a Wealthy Daughter Heard God's Voice
A carriage door opens in Constantinople, November 1854. A woman steps out, seasick but steady. Before her sprawls the Barrack Hospital-miles of corridors packed with dying soldiers lying in their own filth. Most people would flee. Florence Nightingale rolled up her sleeves. Born into British wealth in 1820, Florence enjoyed everything privilege could offer-grand estates, European tours, the finest education. Yet by age six, she found this "smooth, rich life" distasteful. At seventeen, something extraordinary happened: she heard a voice. Not metaphorically-an actual voice speaking in human words, calling her to service. Like Joan of Arc, she experienced this divine summons four times throughout her life. But what service? That remained unclear for years. What was clear: she could never be satisfied with embroidery in drawing rooms while the world suffered outside.
