Heard today: “How often is God’s heart broken by our insistence on “playing it safe”…. As if not getting hurt is the most important thing in the world.”
Taking a risk, stepping out on faith, being obedient and trusting God when something seems contrary to what the world expects of us or is out of one’s comfort zone can require courage, knowing God is good, and loving the Lord and His people more than one’s comfort, convenience, reputation, even life itself.
There is a cost to discipleship. But one will never have given more than has been received.
