Why “I Might Get Hurt” Doesn’t Have to Stop You

The words she wrote burn my heart as I read them.

I pull my fingers back from the computer as if it’s a hot stove.

“I’m not so sure about putting myself out there,” I whisper, “Did you see what she just said to me? What if I get hurt?”

It seems my heart hears a whisper in response: “Oh, you mean like someone might crucify you?”

Big gulp.

Huh.

The Spirit makes excellent points. Like this one: The reality that we might get hurt doesn’t give us a reason not to do something.

Jesus died with His arms wide open, His heart exposed so that we could live that that way.

Will you read the rest with me on (in)courage?
