"I feel like praying tonight that my life might become simple enough for me to able to say "yes" when Jesus looks at me with love and invites me to leave everything behind and follow him. Missing that moment would not only sadden Jesus and me but would, in a way, also be a refusal to take my true place in God's work of salvation." (p. 16)
-Henri Nouwen, The Road to Daybreak
What a scary/inspiring prayer. Is that how I'm living my life? Am I living my life unlike the rich young man - in my heart, am I leaving everything behind and following Jesus? Who is in control of my life?
