Take the Risk

“Who can save a child from a burning house without taking the risk of being burnt by the flames? Who can listen to a story of loneliness and despair and not take the risk of experiencing similar pains? Who can take away suffering without enduring it? The great illusion of leadership is to think that others can be led out of the desert by someone who has never been there.” - Henri Nouwen

To Encourage...

Hebrews 10:23-25 English Standard Version (ESV) 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Spiritual Significance

John 15:5 New King James Version (NKJV) 5  “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. "One day, a wise friend helped me understand this verse more fully by saying, “Apart from me you can do nothing  of spiritual significance,  nothing  of   etern al value.” - Caran Jantzen
