Risk
"Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." - T. S. Eliot
So - how far can you go? How far can your risk travel take you? To the moon, to new galaxies, to infinity and beyond? Or is your risk travel just a short and safe trip, nothing more than a walk around the block or a quick stop at the corner store for bread and milk? Is that the extent of the risk - and faith - in your life?
How far are you willing to go? What are you willing to risk?
Do you want to walk on water? Or are you to afraid to leave the safe and secure confines of the boat?
Doing great things for God involves great risks. Walking on water means stepping out of the boat, risking the danger of the howling wind and the crashing waves, and marching to where Jesus stands, waiting for you.
But are you willing to do it? Is your faith even at the tiny, little mustard seed level yet?
When you take a risk, and step out in faith, and attempt to do great things for God, then remember this: you are now partnering with the One "who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine." (Ephesians 3:20)
God knows exactly how far you can go (and it's a lot farther than you think), and what incredible things you can do for Him during your short time here on Earth, but He needs to know a couple of things: are you willing to risk going too far - for Him? Are you willing to find out how far you can go - for Him?
He's waiting to hear from you. He wants to know what you think, and where you're ready to go.
