Have you said "Yes"?
I was thinking how easy it can be to say "yes" to a request from God or a challenge as Peter did...when he said he would never leave the Lord. But we saw that he failed...
Then I realized just how HARD it is to say "Yes" to the Lord, even before I knew what He might ask of me, being totally honest with myself. I think it's far easier to say "yes" before we really think about it, but far harder to say yes when we do think about it.
It's easier to want to keep our options open, in case God asks something that we feel is to hard or we don't want to do and we can back out.
Have you really said "Yes" to the Lord in all honesty not really knowing what He might ask of you or where he might send you?
