Jesus tells us in the Bible to lose our life and we will find it, as well as to not worry about the things of this world - clothes, food, drink - and it will be given to us ...
Why do we not live like this? Even if you thought you had too much to lose or too much not to worry, wouldn't it be worth the risk to trust and see?
I don't know about you, but I love life. (And I don't mean just the breathing, existing sort of life.) I mean surrendered, jumping into the unseen but know-able arms of God kind of life. The glimpses I've had are exhilerating and leave me unsatisfied with what is known and comfortable.
Currently I have a good paying, safe job with people I enjoy ... and yet for some reason I can't wait to leave it all behind and strain toward what is ahead. Jobs are good and providing for oneself and family is essential - God blesses that too. But for me, I can't wait to look back 3 months from now and see how He provides as I jumped out in faith - or foolishness as this world sees it :)
