uberr??
My hurry and stress come from that want of more. I want to do more, be more, pack more in to these few short days. Then it seems God whispers to my heart, “Enough. You are enough. You have enough. In the middle of the busy, make a quiet place inside and stay with me. My love is what you really need.”
I settle, quiet down, breathe a sigh of relief.
God came for us so we could come to Him.
Even (especially) in the busy, broken, chaos of our lives.
‘Tis the season to be still.
Do It Afraid!
God won’t let me quit dreaming. And the dreams just get bigger and scarier. To tell you the truth, it makes me want to run for the hills!
But I can’t. The pull to be with Him is just too strong. And over and over I hear Him whispering… Do it afraid! Push past the fear! Overcome the anxiety! I’m here. I’ll hold your hand. I will catch you if you fall.
I want to settle in and rest here, in this place of comfort. I want to be content. But God isn’t calling us to settle, He’s calling us to follow.
Follow Him into unchartered territory.
Follow Him into new relationships.
Follow Him in taking risks and chasing dreams.
And He’s calling us to Do It Afraid!
Do it anyway…
I don’t know why I feel this fear, can’t name it although I’m certain of its source. It wants me to stop…
but I’m going to do it anyway.
I’m not sure of the next step, can’t see past the bend in the road. Uncertainty tells me to slow down…
but I’m moving ahead anyway.
I wonder if I really have what it takes, if I’ll stumble and fall. Insecurity tells me to hold back…
but I’m taking a leap of faith anyway.
Anyway.
I’ve been fighting that word.
I’ve been waiting for everything to be safe, perfect, for me to be all I should be.
And then today, God whispers to my heart, “Just go anyway.”
It’s enough.
He is enough.
We can do it anyway
because we’ve got the One who’s the Way right by our side.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. Isaiah 43:2
