A Different Kind of Call

"If we wait for someone else to take the risk, we risk that no one will ever act and that nothing will ever be accomplished." -Erwin McManus

The closer you walk with Christ, the greater the faith required. The more you trust Him, the more you'll risk on His behalf. When you hear the call, when you follow the call, you must recognize that it is a life-and-death proposition. When you understand what Jesus means when He says that you must follow Him, you finally realize that this is not a cattle call. HE IS NOT CALLING YOU TO THE SAME LIFE THAT EVERYONE ELSE WILL LIVE. He's not even calling you to the same path that every follower of Christ will walk. Your life is unique before God, and your path is yours and yours alone. Where God will choose to lead you and how God chooses to use your life cannot be predicted by how God has worked in the lives of others before you.

Too often I get scared to take the risk, afraid of what I'll miss out on or lose if I do. But what will I miss out on if I don't? What if...I really lived on the edge for God?

God says, "Your part is to FOLLOW ME...My part is to lead the way!"
