What if I wasn’t afraid of what other people would think?
What if I wasn’t afraid?
What if I was more daring, more adventurous?
What if I wasn’t afraid of failing?
What if I truly trusted what I was hearing God say?
What if I took that trip? Talked to that person? Sent that email? Wrote that book?
What if I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that God would be there whatever I tried?
Even if I did fail.
Even if I got lost along the way.
Even if nobody cared what I had to say.
What if I said something kind to that person who looks so sad?
What if I gave up everything and followed Jesus wherever He led me?
What if I never had any regrets?
Made any mistakes.
Loved and lost.
Sometimes clouds create the most beautiful sunsets.
See that stunning rainbow?
Yep, it had to rain.
There is no growth where there is no trial.
No lessons learned where there have been no failed attempts.
