"I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many new kernels--a plentiful harvest of new lives." John 12:24
As I am preparing the launch of CSJ Media Publishing, fear and doubt are rising within me. Can I really do this? Can I really write and publish books which will inspire, encourage, and empower people? Can I really speak to groups of people and talk about the hope I have in Jesus? Can I really leave the hometown I've lived in all of my life and travel to new places to speak to these people? Can I?
Yes, I can!
I just have to die first. No, not literally. I have to put to death the person who is afraid to try new things. I have to put to death the person who is shy. I have to put do death my entire being so God can work through me to change the lives of not only one person (me), but thousands of other people ("a plentiful harvest of new lives").
I am ready. I am reminded of a song by Hillsong called, "Oceans."
