J. Hudson Taylor wrote, “unless there is an element of risk in the Christian life, there is no need for faith.”
I copied these words into my personal journal on February 3, 2004. I do not remember all of the details of what was taking place when I wrote those words, but in re-reading my journal I ran across these words today.
Taylor is right.
Risk gives faith an opportunity to be displayed.
Here’s a funny poem to end the day.

Here’s a funny poem to end the day.
There was a very cautious man
Who never laughed or played;
He never risked, he never tried,
He never sang or prayed.
And when he one day passed away
His insurance was denied;
For since he never really lived,
They claimed he never died!
Who never laughed or played;
He never risked, he never tried,

And when he one day passed away

They claimed he never died!
When was the last time you took a risk? Take a risk! Go ahead….live! Don’t wait for tomorrow. Be fully present in this moment and live!
