Well, like you and Jason, we took a step that was so huge and ‘irresponsible’, based on the faith that God was leading us that way, and thinking He would bring success. ‘Failure’ came, but that doesn’t mean that God wasn’t in it.
The author of the quote in you post is very wise indeed. My motto for some time has been just that: ‘We are not called to success. We are called to obedience’. I had never heard anyone else say that before.
I find that more and more I am leaping off the staircase at the sound of His voice, knowing that the simple act of trust and obedience is the greatest success I’ll ever need.

Thanks!

What an awesome image of how we’re meant to love God in return – it made me a little teary! Thanks – it challenged me and made me smile.
