RISK

If you are not willing to risk you are not willing to love, and if you are not willing to love how can you ever find the purpose of your life? We live in a world of billions of people, and through the media we are all neighbors, or family in one way or another. There is no way to escape it, if you are looking for your purpose in this life, with this sort of context IT INVOLVES PEOPLE. Having been alive on earth we all notice, recognize, accept that PEOPLE can and will let us down. WOW!! Now how do you deal with that? Your purpose is irrevocably tied to people and yet the very object of your purpose is the very thing, though potential, that can let you down. Life is about RISK. The choice to live in itself is a RISK. Love is a RISK. There is no escape from the RISK, but if your fear outweighs the needs of the people then maybe you are right, sit down and shut up and let someone else do it. But if you have looked into the deepest parts of yourself and found that your purpose in this life is worth the risk, that your fear can never compare to the starving and the naked, the unfortunate and the oppressed, then be ready to risk it... yes your life. I am a firm believer if you are living this life and you can not find something to die for, if need be, you are disconnected from the world you live. You are an alien, and are in my prayers that we all find this connection, this hook up to the true purpose of our lives, each other.
You have to be willing to risk in order to step into your destiny, your purpose, and until you do, until I do, we will never live. We will be the comfortable ones in movie and in reality tv shows who breathe in the safe haven of fiction, untouched by the grim of the real world. Offer your body as a sacrifice for the service of others. Offer your time for the up-lift-ment of others. This is what it means to live. To love God with everything we have to love Him and to love our neighbor as ourself, and that this love is what migrates us all from the barbaric nature of being humans to another level, no title for it, just another level... where war does not exist, where true peace walks freely, where false humility is on death row and we all live for the other, a love unconditional, without the fear of RISK...
