risk vs. RISK - part II

Recap:

Risk is the point faith moves from the 'theoretical' to real.

REAL faith impacts your life and involves. Risk is not something that I'm comfortable with, despite taking on more risk in my life recently. Risk does affect your relationships you have with people. In addition, your relationship with God will also impact these relationships with others around you.

What is the benefit of taking on risk in one's life? Without taking a risk, you will never gain that which you aspire to and will not gain from it. Risk is not a bad thing but actually good. Risk is a teaching element that allows us to grow stronger in our relationship with God. Its a challenge. God wants us to not become complacent in seeking after Him and therefore, will require us to take risks in our lives to continue on the journey of seeking after Him. Risk will allow us to succeed.

Personally speaking, I know its true and that risk will have a positive impact on my life however its easier said then done. Giving 100% control over to God of your life is a risk itself. But as noted earlier, God will not give you a risk hoping we will fail but rather for us to grow and succeed. So what risk are you gonna take?

Things I'm pondering...
... at what point is a risk just stupid?
... am I taking a risk by making these thoughts of mine public?
... Risk = Good, now repeat that over and over and over.
