I am at a loss. I am not totally sure how to write about such a theme. Those who know me would probably agree that I am a risk taker. It is a part of my personality. But I am not sure how to respond to this idea of risk taking service to God.
Where is the risk? If it is done in service to God and the reason for doing it is to honor Him and build His kingdom, how can you lose. We win if we risk everything for God even if it looks like we lose. He said if you want to save your life you have to lose it. And winning and losing is so subjective in God's kingdom. There's my take on it. There's your take on it. There is His take on it and sometimes it is hard to immedeately know what has happened.
If this all sounds like I am not sure, it is because I am not sure. It is our responsibility to present all that we have to Him. If we give Him everything, then what is left to risk. I think this is a question for everyone individually and every local ministry to define and answer for themselves.
I believe in the light of eternity, any risk taken for Him will have proved a worth while task.
Like I said, I really am at a loss. This idea is going to take me a while yet to work out in my own life.
