crazy deal

when we decide to follow Jesus,
things will get very confusing
His ways are not our ways
and it gets pretty scary sometimes
all we need is "the faith the size of a mustard seed",
according to Jesus,
the One we follow,
but in the face of seemingly bad odds,
even mustering up that much faith is daunting
i don't like the whole, " God has called me etc.." thinking,
as if one person called is more special than the other guy
we are ALL called to take up our cross, to deny ourselves,
and follow
whatever gifts we have or don't have,
these are the tools of our calling
and the boasting is always in the Giver,
not the gift
when the shadows of doubt come,
they often blot out our sun of confidence,
when the way before us seems unsure and foggy,
when we are anxious, afraid, angry, frustrated with the progress,
the cross really gets heavy
especially when it involves others we care about
when it causes them frustration and worry,
and Father, Abba, knows all of this
it's a crazy deal
