Many of us are afraid to dream, afraid to step out of the shadows and ask the question “What if?”
What if I was more obedient and followed God closer?
Don Miller wrote a powerful post on the question What if. I encourage you to read it, but not just the article but the comments also. It will touch you deeply.
Then a few days ago Don Miller issued a challenge : write down five “what if” questions.
- “Several years ago, I asked the question What if the 360,000 churches in America could each have a mentoring program and out of that question came one of the most exciting adventures in my life, The Mentoring Project. Bill Hybles once asked What if there were a church in this field? Rick Warren asked What if we could bring peace to the continent of Africa? Out of these questions came stories that have positively affected millions.” -Don Miller
What if we begin asking the question, “what if.”
What if I stopped being fearful every time God places a new challenge in front of me?
What if I released this anxiety and replaced it with total faith in God?
What if I stepped out of my comfort zone?
What if I loved deeply and allowed myself to become vulnerable with others?
What if I wrote more?
How about you, what would your five “what if’s” be?
As Don says, “The truth is, God gives you wisdom and direction and morality and His presence and support, and then asks you to live, to conquer, to risk and experience the whole of life. People grow when they are in motion.”
So
What if….

1. What if I did things in His strength and not my own?
2. What if I waited on Him and His provisions not acted on my own?
3. What if I lived more and talked less?
4. What if I memorized His word more, and that was what came from my lips and not my own opinion.
5. What if I were more humble. Truth in Love through and through.
1. What if I could see others through the eyes of Christ instead of being so quick to judge?
2. What if I actually did/said/wrote all the things I feel Him nudging me to do?
3. What if I stopped sweating the small stuff?
4. What if I allowed others to know the true depths of my feelings for them?
5. What if I was as concerned for the salvation of strangers as I am for my own family?
Great challenge…
1. What If…I let people know about my hurt feelings — in love
2. What if…I trusted God to take my talents to a higher level
3. What if…I let go of fear completely
4. What if…I speak truth more often in word and deed
5. What if…I let go of my shyness and light His light shine more boldly
Have a blessed weekend, my sweet friend.
