What are the four scariest words someone can ask you? Is it "wanna hold a snake?" That question terrifies me. But the big scary question is "do you trust me?"
Hang on. That's my first thought. Then my mind finds a million excuses for whatever request is coming. I'm not sure I want to do it. I love them and all, but hey, we don't know each other that well. I mean, we're just friends. I don't like it when others make demands of me. I try to find a way out. Is that what you do when someone ask you to trust them?
When someone ask you that question, you're being invited into an adventure. Probably a risky one. Nobody ever asks you to trust them then gives you a bag of cotton candy. Cotton candy requires no trust. Sacrifices do. You may have to give up time, money or yourself. You have to be vulnerable. It's going to cost you something when you join in someones life.
It is a leap of faith to trust a friend when they ask you to journey together into something new, something scary. So what do you feel when the Lord ask you that question?
How terrifying is that?
