GOD IS WAITING ON YOU!

Esther said yes, even though it could’ve cost her very life (by going before the king to stop her people from being annihilated). Abraham said yes when he went to sacrifice his promised son. Joshua said yes when he was chosen for a major task to lead the children of Israel into the promised land.

Mary said yes to supernaturally carry the Savior of the world. And ultimately, Jesus Christ said yes to die an excruciating death on a cross for you and me (and countless others).    
If you noticed, it was hard and scary for all of them to say a wholehearted yes right up front. Yet, at the end of the day, they all led exemplary lives that eventually led to, “Not my will, Lord. But your will be done.” (Luke 22:42)
 
So, even though saying yes to God may be hard or apprehensive at times, I think knowing that all of these outcomes worked out for the good in the end, can help us go forth in whatever God is requiring of you and I. 
 
And saying yes may cost you a lot, my sister. It may cost you time, sacrifice, perseverance, or whatever God decides for His will to be accomplished through you. But don’t be afraid. And don’t doubt His presence or the fact that He is with you to guide you along the way. Remember, He promises to never leave you, nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). So be strong and courageous! And hold onto the words found in 1 Corinthians 15:58, “…know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.”
