i dare risk

day 02... oct 13, 2009

oh, what a glorious day!

thank you pastor rejoice for this opportunity... i didn't know blogging could be this great!

i have to take risks...

growing up being sheltered well and taken care of has led me to believe that life could and should be as comfortable as we want it to be. i chose things and to-do's that were convenient and did not welcome much routine disturbances. that's probably why my friends used to call me OC (obsessive-compulsive).

the heavy rain that beat furiously against our rooftop that i woke up to this morning reminded me of the ill fate that numerous filipinos had to deal with for the past several weeks... lives lost, homes ruined, hope seemingly gone... not even the lady who died while trapped in her car could have thought that driving safely along the familiar roads that she passed by everyday was risky... little did she know that the steady drops of the harmless rain could later on lock her in to death.

safety is good. yet, safety can be a waterloo. after all, safety should not be the goal of a Christian but FREEDOM because we are not a product of time but of eternity. God is not freaked out but He holds all deals in His Hands. we are not supposed to live life to merely arrive at death safely--- this is a disaster.

i should not and will not pull back from the context where miracles happen... where it's risky. i dare live in the miracle zone!

i will no longer dwell in the cage of limitation... rather i must live wild, untamed, undomesticated... for Jesus did not come to tame me but to make me dangerous to the kingdom of darkness... and so is any other captain of one hundred...
