Is Fear of Failure Holding You Down?
Jesus
This reminds me of the parable of the talents that  Jesus  taught. The Master  who represents  Jesus   gave resources to each of  His  servants to invest “in accordance with  his  ability.” Two of the men invested wisely. However  the third man buried his gift. When the Master returned  the man made excuses 
I believed the lies. I was keeping  Jesus ’s gift buried in the sand  as if this would save  Him  grief. Which grieves God more: taking a risk or burying  His gift ?
The truth is that God is for  us . No One is more invested in  our  victory than the One who paid for it with His own blood.
God is faithful. He is for  us . But  our  window of opportunity to invest in His Kingdom is closing. Immediately preceding the parable of the talents is a sober warning. Concerning His return  Jesus implores  us   “…keep watch! For you do not know the day or hour of my return.” (Matthew 25:13 NLT)
Friends   our  time is short. Are there any lies you need to surrender? Gifts you need to invest? What would it look like for you to take a risk with God?
