Stepping Out

THERE YOU ARE AT THE VERY EDGE of the diving board. Will you take that leap? Will you stand there, paralyzed by fear? Or will you turn around and crawl all the way back on your hands and knees? We all have a purpose in life, a God-given calling that is unique to us. But that purpose—w-a-y out there at the far edge of our comfort zone—can be scary. We worry. We struggle. We’re distracted by the storms of our life and by the insecurities Satan whispers in our ear. On our own, we fail and sink like lead to the bottom of the pool. It’s only because our Savior offers His guidance and strength that we can step out of our comfort zone and serve Him in whatever capacity we are called to serve. Christ Jesus calls us to the edge of living boldly as God’s daughters. We can trust Him. He steps in, so we can step out!
