I’m sharing the following previously posted poem about My Hazardous Faith Story as part of a synchroblog connected with the release of Ed Cyzewski and Derek Cooper’s new book Hazardous: Committing to the Cost of Following Jesus.
Dreaming big and surrendering my will for His is the most dangerous thing I've ever done. It can lead me anywhere, but never out of His sight!
To dream big dreams
and live them
instead of casting them aside
as foolish
or unattainable
this is walking with the Lord
To learn to silence
voices that hinder
voices that crush
voices that press in hard
voices that speak "can't"
this too is walking with the Lord
To breathe deep
dive deep
search out the deep
deep places
in a heart crafted
ever molded
by His hand
to know His heart
is deeper still
yes, walking with the Lord
To stand brave
in the rain of His revelation
knowing
I am nothing
apart
and everything
in Him
every other dream
becomes brightly possible
in His light
and every other dream
fades and is humbled
next to the dream
of true abiding
walking with, beside
and in my Lord.
Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I
will live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding
in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you
abide in Me. John 15:4 Amplified
