Do I take risks like the wiseones of old

Do i take risks when it comes to worshiping God?

Do I take risks in order to follow where God is leading?

Do I hesitate

Do I over think things

Do I wonder too much about what others might think?

 

Am I willing to leave it all?

Am I willing to cross deserts and mountains?

To leave all that is safe and familiar to go where He leads

Or to Go where I think, where I feel where I believe God is leading?

 

What keeps me from going?

What keeps me frozen in place

Uncertainty… that I’ve heard

Uncertain that I truly know and can truly trust in Him.

What is it that won’t allow me to go and ask the hard questions and

Seek out His star, no matter what the darkness

No matter what the risk

No matter what the barrier?

 

How can I remember,

No.,..help me to remember that darkness is not dark to you

That you invented light that you are the light of the world

That has come to banish all our darkness. Yet it takes the darkness

Often to perceive the light.

Darkness is not dark to you

Uncertainty is not a word in your vocabulary

You know our plans

You perceive my thoughts

And you still love me anyway….

The light of the world has come

To all people .,..the Light has come!

Everything was created through him;

      nothing—not one thing!—

      came into being without him.

   What came into existence was Life,

      and the Life was Light to live by.

   The Life-Light blazed out of the darkness;

      the darkness couldn't put it out.
