Freedom in Risks

Before I came back to IWU for the spring semester I realized something changed how I view my relationship with God. I wrote in my journal: "God is bigger than my life."

I didn't realize the significance of that single statement:

God is bigger than my life.

Then the statement I wrote began to convict me. How often do I limit God because of my own insecurities?

I get motivated to do something I care deeply about and before I know it I think, "I could never do that" or "Someone else can do it." And I get discouraged before I even start anything.

Then I began to process the scope of God and me.

I'm nothing in comparison to God.

But the amazing thing is He turns me into something He values.

Because I know I am valuable in His sight, I began to think, "God is in everything I do that is within His will."

Wow.

I can be confident that God is in everything I do when I seek to ask, "God what is your place in this?"

This applies right now.

About a month ago I submitted my resume to "Reach your City" which I wrote about in my last post. I hadn't heard back so I was motivated to call them and see what was going on with my resume and if they had made a decision regarding my resume.

That involved a risk.

I'm learning if I truly want to live by faith I must take risks.

I believe there are freedoms in the risks I take in faith, knowing God will see me through to what is best for me. Although, I may not see it right away.

I keep going...because there is freedom in risks.
