I don't want to keep crawling when i have the ability to fly.

If life were stable, I'd never need God's help.

It's incredibly arrogant to pick and choose which incomprehensible truths we embrace. No one wants to ditch God's plan of redemption [the cross], even though it doesn't make sense to us. Neither should we erase God's revealed plan of punishment because it doesn't sit well with us. As soon as we do this, we are putting God's actions in submission to our own reasoning, which is a ridiculous thing for clay to do.

God cares more about your obedience to His Spirit's leading TODAY than what you will do next year.

Sometimes we shrink from leadership because our pride makes us afraid of failure. That's not humility.

...I don't have to worry about not meeting His expectations. God will ensure my success in accordance with His plan, not mine.

Giving that is not motivated by love is worth nothing.
