Being a Christian is about choosing Jesus and deciding to do something incredibly daring with your life. Rather than waiting around for God’s special plan for your life, you should just go find where God is at work and join in. It is risky but we are people of faith, believing that giving is more contagious than hoarding, that love can cover hatred, light can overcome darkness, grass can pierce concrete. This is precisely what we commit our lives to. He dares and woos us to come and follow, take up our cross, to lose your life to find it.
