“I think a lot of us stay safe on the shoreline in our lives..we never seem to jump right in until we know it all..Amen..we never just go for it and walk out on that water to our Father..Amen..and I wonder how many times the Lord has been out there on the waves calling out for us to come to Him..Matthew 14:22-33..Amen..I wonder how many times we’ve missed so much because we wanted to play it safe instead?..we didn’t want to go because we didn’t see just how deep the water was..or we failed to think and trust that God would have us even if it was a little risky so we thought..because I tell ya we don’t know it all in our lives..we don’t know what tomorrow holds..we don’t know what the next minute or even second actually holds for us and our lives..but I do know that fear and not taking risks when our Father is calling us keeps us from the very best life that we could ever have..sometimes we just have to go for it..and all the while trust God with the outcome..Amen!”

“For you see He alone already knows..sometimes we play it way too safe in our lives..we play it safe when it comes to making friends because we’ve gotten hurt so many times that we just don’t trust..we play it safe in getting involved in anything really because of what may happen..we play it safe in going for the degree or even the job we really want..we play it safe and talk ourselves right out of everything that God has for us..all because we don’t want to be hurt..we don’t want to get out in the water of life so to speak..because we think we may drown out there in that deep water..even though our Father is out there..Amen..even though we know that He holds and keeps us..somehow we just sit there on the shore line telling the Lord all of the reasons why we can’t go..all of the reasons why it would never work..we sit there and go over and over all the bad that may happen and take place as to where we never move..we never step out on that water..failing to see just what all good things can happen..what all wonderful and magnificent things that can take place when we trust Jesus and take that first step..Amen!”

“So I don’t know what the Lord is calling you to in your life..but my heart and my prayer for each and every one of us is that if Jesus is calling us to come to Him..and come wherever that may be..that we say, Yes, Amen..and that we keep walking in the direction of our Fathers voice..even if it is a little risky we may think..even if we can’t see the whole staircase..even if we don’t know how deep that water may be..we just are gonna go..and we are gonna live out our best lives..and instead of always saying no about everything maybe we can begin saying..yes..Amen..because with them yes’s that we say comes great and mighty things taking place and happening in our lives..but it takes us going..Amen..it takes action and obedience on our parts..so let us be still and follow the voice our Lord..for He knows the way that we will take..Amen..He knows the best way we should take..He alone is in control over our lives..we just have to be willing..and we have to be willing to say, yes..other than always saying no..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
