The place that God calls us is that place where the world's deep hunger and our deep desire meet.

~ Frederick Buechner

Well done, good and faithful servant!

You have been faithful

with a few things;

I will put you in charge of many things.

Come and share

your master's

happiness!"

Matthew 25:21

Today I share with you a story from the Bible in which I have found courage to move ahead in faith.  Whenever I face a new challenge, a life transition large or small, or I sense a new and scary direction that comes with a sense of purpose, longing, and a good gift to be shared, this lesson comes to mind.  

Actions of value feel risky and vulnerable.

This story awakens my heart to follow the call, because there is a reward for faith and a consequence for fear.
