Question: Is Being in God's Will a Safe Place?
Tuesday, August 7, 2007 at 03:22PM I must say no. It's not a safe place. It wasn't for Paul- Ship-wrecked, beat, and persecuted. It wasn't a safe place for Lottie Moon, Jim Elliot, or Martin Luther. It wasn't a safe place for Saint Francis or Polycarp. It continues to be a beautifully dangerous place and in truth it's the best place one could ever imagine.
C.S. Lewis: “We're not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be”
Mother Teresa: “I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish He didn't trust me so much.”
Lord teach me to long for purpose not safety.
