I’m not bold, but I want to be. I’m cowardly and I want to be brave. I’m selfish and I don’t want to live for myself. I want to care that everyone has a story. I want to discover it. I want people to feel the love of Christ through me. I don’t love people enough, and I want to learn how. I don’t love God enough, and I want to. I don’t want God enough, and I want to.
I’ve spent too much of my life being bitter and ineffective, resigned and comfortable. I’ve had this impossible dream that I’ve been afraid to express, completely contrary to my nature, of traveling to third-world countries, of helping people, of getting out of my shell. Of learning about how to live life with people everyday and meet their needs. Of singing and writing the songs that will echo the cry of their hearts. Of obeying Him, finally.
Everyone should know they’re not alone.
