realize how much I had let the fear of the unknowns hold me back from doing some things I would have loved. I was afraid to take chances because; what if I’m wrong; What if something bad happens ; What if….. Sometimes I am afraid that we let that carry over into our spiritual life, as well. Have you ever, like me, not defended your Christian faith because “what if” they laugh at me; What if it costs me my job; what if….. Have you ever not did something you felt God wanted you to do because, what if I’m wrong; what if other’s think I’m stupid; what if…. Fellow Christians, maybe it's time we take chances and trust God for what we don’t know. If God goes before us, we cannot be wrong; listening to the “what if’s” is really a lack of trust in God. For me, I have decided not to listen to the voice of fear. I will take chances and trust God for the “what if’s”
