Jesus modeled a courageous spirit; He was always moving forward in His ministry of doing "good." As followers of Jesus, we are seeds of "good" potential. Sometimes God will take us out of a certain location, because the soil is not conducive for our "good" potential. In other words, we may not be able to fulfill the "good" God has placed within us in that location; location and spiritual temperature matters when it comes to the work of Christ. Everything needs to be aligned with God for the seeds to produce. It may be necessary to leave some comforts in order to follow Jesus in doing "good." If you spend time in the Word of God, you will notice Jesus was seemingly always moving locations; coming and going. The Master was making good moves...

Our level of courage will determine whether or not we "live big." Most people say they want to courageously walk through new doors of opportunity and embrace change, but few will ever make the decision to do so. Change is frightening. Safety calls to us and tries to keep us from the bigger and deeper life God has prepared for those who love Him. God rewards our faith-filled lives; a desire for safety tries to stand in the way of our faith.

God calls us to be transformed by the renewing of our own minds; the way we think must change in order for us to be models of transformational living as followers of Christ (Romans 12:2). We bear personal responsibility for our spiritual maturity; no one else can make the decision for us.
