Reckless Living

A few days ago, my 18-year old son Cameron and I were driving to church.  He was driving and the weather was terrible.  It was rainy, foggy and cold.  I was getting a little tense at his reckless driving and I said something to him about slowing down.  He said, “Dad, the world would be a better place if people lived more recklessly,” he said as he was swerving between two 18-wheelers.  What a profound statement I thought.

We need to live a reckless life with nothing holding us back from God’s potential in our lives.  I am the worst because I live by the rules and rarely take chances.  But we will never be challenged if we don’t become a little more reckless.  After my heart slows from the morning commute, I am going to ask God to give me courage to be more reckless in building His church.
