I love the recklessness of faith. First, you leap, then you grow wings.
William Sloan Coffin
It’s risky, this “Faith” thing.
· To entrust yourself to a Deity that might not exist.
· To forgive when vengeance is justified.
· To give, with no prospect of a return
· To care for those who cannot care back
· To serve those who do not deserve your efforts
· To die to your Self, in the hope that your True Self might appear.
More than risky, it is reckless. A practical person would put such notions aside, play it safe, and get on with their life.
And yet, there is…
· That persistent voice that beckons us to the Unknown.
· The way our heart is stirred when it hears the invitation to “Follow me.”
· A nagging thought that perhaps the most reckless thing, after all, is to play it safe and stay where we are.
Question:
What is the riskiest thing Faith is asking you to do today?
