Taking Risks

“If we do not risk anything for God we will never do anything great for Him.” – St. Louis de Montfort

Holiness is not merely refraining from doing evil; holiness is seeking, dreaming, acting, taking every chance we see to do what is good.

We cannot always seek safety, for in fearing too much, the things we fear the most can knock at our doors and find us unprepared.

We must learn to take wise risks so we may accomplish great things, so that light may have a chance to seek those in darkness, and that love may have an opportunity to be heard where it is needed most.

Let us not be afraid. If the Lord is with us, who can be against us? For it is not by our own power that we will succeed, it is by God’s grace that victory is already ours to claim.

Therefore he says, “Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. – Ephesians 5:14-16, WEB
