Do I dare…?
Dare to dream about a future that’s not mine,
To look into the eyes of another and tell them what I feel.
Dare to stand out and shine this light that has been given to me,
to share my heart and my life with those I hardly know.
Dare to leave family and friends to live the life I’ve been called to;
to serve my God with all my heart, mind, soul and strength.
Did He dare…?
Dare to come to Earth as a baby in a manger,
to live the humble life of a carpenter.
Dare to challenge the Pharisees and religious leaders,
to change the way people came to know His Father.
Dare to live hated by those he came to save,
to spread the Truth to a world plagued by darkness.
Did He dare to suffer God’s wrath for my sins,
to give His life on the cross and rise again so that I might have life in Him?
He did!
I dare.
God placed this on my heart about 3 years ago – i think He’s been preparing my heart for awhile now 🙂
