Give up yourself, and you will find your real self. Lose your life and you will save it. Submit to death, death of your ambitions and favorite wishes every day and death of your whole body in the end submit with every fiber of your being, and you will find eternal life.” ~ C.S. Lewis

Fear isn't just uncertainty wrapped up in the unknown.  When we peel back the layers, we discover the lack of trust and the loss of control.  that's the root of fear.  

Our yes to God should scare us.  Not to keep us immobile but to keep us dependent on the one who asks us to say it in the first place.  Fear keeps us moving towards God.  

The times I have been most afraid in my life-saying yes to a God sized dream, .....these are the moments I felt most alive.  We think playing it safe and living within our comfort zone is the way to feel alive.  But when we get dirt under our nails and follow Jesus into risky places this is where we realize our comfort was actually killing our joy.  

Yes there is fear in obedience.  But peace keeps us on the journey.  

and the joy that follows our yes to God... is wild.  

I don't know what scares you today, what keeps you up at night, clinging to comfort.  But can I encourage you to be brave today? Malke that phone call.  Ask or receive forgiveness.   Send that email.  

Do something that scares you just a little bit. 

Go a little deeper.

Be brave today.
