Day 28: How far can I go?

[box] T.S Elliot “Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.”[/box]

As a runner I must push myself.  To go further, to go faster, to increase endurance.  Pushing through a run is anything but comfortable.  At times it’s nothing short of pure misery.  I’m not a good runner.  I only push when someone is pushing me.  It’s easy to quit when I am alone.

Satisfaction comes at the end.  When I can look back and see the distance covered, see the effort exerted and the benefits I received.  It’s a risk.  To push myself I risk injury.

It’s a risk worth taking.  How do I possibly know how far I can go if I don’t take the risk.

Am I willing to take a risk for God?  To expose my heart – giving it over to the breaking?  To crack the shell of pride?  To fight lies that tell me playing it safe is best?  To discarding the notion that the discomfort won’t make a big difference so just ignore it?

I can’t ignore it.  I want to see God at work.  I want to see Him.  So I need to go with Him.
