Take a Dare

These thoughts from Ann Voskamp challenged me today. How about you? Are we willing to let go of our ideas of what our lives should be and see God work? For some of us, our natural inclinations and behavior traits go contrary to “let go and let God”, but we need to at least pray about what has been presented and have the Holy Spirit gently nudge us where God wants us.

 

 

From Ann:

 

Dare to be grateful for every good thing. And dare to know it’s all good. That’s what God does: God works everything for good.

Dare to never make pain invisible but dare to say injustice is intolerable. This takes courage. This takes Christ.

Dare to give up clarity — because God gives a call. Dare to give up life road maps — because God gives a relationship.

Dare to live without answers — because God gives His hand.

Dare to live by faith — not by feelings, formulas, facts or fences.

Nothing is impossible with God.
