Note to Self: Try


It's so simple, really.
No, I don't mean "trying".
I'm talking about "I can't".

It's easy.

Shying away from the difficult.
Refusing to give it a shot.
Remaining comfortable.
Safe.
Saying "I'm not good enough."
"I'm not ready."
"I'll fail."
"I'm scared."
"I can't."

It's easy to stay where you are.
Maintain the status quo.
Unchanged.
Unmoved.
The same.

It's easy.

But what gain is there in that?
What glory can you bring to God?
Is it really about you anyway?

If God asks you to go, don't you dare say "no".
You GO.
If God says, "do", don't say "I can't".
You DO.

God, Who spoke the universe into existence.
God, Who knit together your very essence.
If God is asking,
He will faithfully carry you through.

I don't want easy.
I want God's best.
I want to take a chance.
To answer His call.
To step out in faith.

I don't want easy.
I want the impossible.
