No Longer Playing It Safe
I found this article at Radiant, about playing it safe, fear of failure, and how it can dictate our lives, to be incredibly encouraging and challenging. And timely.
Now what? I love my job. I enjoy my students, I enjoy teaching at my college, I have the time to write, I feel that the work I’m doing is, in fact, pleasing to Him. He has blessed my life abundantly this past year. But over the past few months, I’ve started to ask a very, very challenging question: Is this how I can best use God’s gifts in His service?
As I prayed about this a few days ago, I came to understand why it’s a scary question for me. I realized that part of what I’m afraid of is—you guessed it—failure.
