You Make Me Want To Be Brave.
My heart is to work at the children’s hospital as a CNA right now. I am realizing that some big risks are having to be taken on my part in order to attain this. It is not really that I have to strive in my own strength at all, but I must keep my heart open and focused on God. I was reminded about Peter in the boat. Jesus called him out of the boat. I really hear Him doing that with me right now. When I look around me at circumstances I feel disheartened. But when I look at Him I am given courage.
Sometimes I wish He would just force me to get out of the boat; but He never does. Sometimes I wish He would just leave me be in the boat; but He never does. It would not make sense for Him to be any other way, though. He is the Good Shepherd. He pursues us relentlessly. He calls us up out and away from mediocrity. He calls us out of comfort into the unknown. And yet everytime His answer is, “Even so, I will be with you”.
