All of your belongings are packed into a single bag.
Your heart beats faster and faster.
You wave goodbye to coworkers, friends, and family.
With a deep breath, you say, “I’m ready.”
And you begin to move forward.
These next steps in life will accelerate your spiritual growth,
Will allow you to see and do more than most people do in their entire lives,
Will enter you into a world of wonder and awe,
Will take you to new heights in your relationship with God,
And will prove to you that you are made for the Kingdom.
You will be pruned.
You will experience the beauty and fullness of the Body of Christ.
Fear will flee.
Confidence will blossom.
And faith and dependence will give Him way to move.
He will surprise you,
Challenge you,
Keep you,
Love you,
And He will change your life.
So be brave,
Be ambitious,
Put on the armor of God,
Lay it all down,
And leave it all behind.
For what is to come is worth far more than your comforts at home,
Better than you can dream,
Bigger than you can imagine,
Nothing like you expect,
And all for the glory of God.
