This will be a faith journey from first to last. Destiny is not discovered on a map. Destiny is carved out of a mountain. To become who you are destined to become will require faith every step of the way. And that’s hard, because some steps are easier than others. Starting out is easy when you have little to lose. Daring to risk what you’ve gained for yourself in order to be faithful to secure what you’re called to gain for others can be terrifying. Most don’t.
Do not sabotage your Gospel story by thinking you’ve arrived at a place where faith is no longer required and you can live by sight. If you live by sight you’ll stop. You’ll stagnate. And the dream you’re called to live will die. One-hundred-percent of the time, the dream you’re called to live will die if you live by sight. So, discern faith from recklessness. Differentiate between resilience and stubbornness. Pull up your Gospel big-boy/girl pants. Know in whom and what you believe. Fix your eyes on Jesus. Thank God for the opportunity to really live because most don’t, and then go all in.
“For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: ‘The righteous will live by faith.’” (Romans 1:17)
