It’s much harder to take a risk, to trust God to accomplish that which is outside of ones control. It is much easier to believe that it just wasn’t meant to be. If I want to travel to another place, to teach others about God, to experience life, to go to a place where love and truth are needed, that means I need to trust God to be in control. I need to let go of all material things. I need to follow God completely. I need to not worry. I need to love. I need to be strong in Christ. I need to give God the worries about money, to trust Him to provide. I need to trust that he will get me there, sustain me while I’m there, use me while I’m there, protect me while I’m there. I need to release my fears and worries. No matter how deep a passion is to go somewhere, it is almost always easier to give this passion up than to entirely surrender to God.
I know that if I’m going to follow God completely I’m going to have to make changes in my life. I’m going to have to continually grow and grow. I’m going to have to become wiser and stronger. I’m going to need to become more accepting and less judgmental. I’m going to have to humble myself. And these things will require pain and suffering.
So why give up the easy, complacent life I have right now?
Because to follow God, to take leaps of faith, to suffer for Him daily, to train body, soul, and mind, are apart of worshiping the one true God. What other purpose to living is there than this?
