Had a colleague at work approach me and was concerned that I was being taken advantage of by releasing a book I wrote for free to students. I calmly explained to him that when we serve the Lord we should not commercialize nor request worldly compensation for what we do. I write as an act of service not as a means of living. Every student whose life the holy spirit changes because of his words through me is all the compensation that I want. This isn't about me, it's about what he has called me to do. I'm not worried about surviving for the Lord provides me enough, what I am worried about is remaining still when I am commanded to move, remaining silent when I am commanded to speak. Ultimately what I am worried about is being disobedient to he who gave me everything when I found myself on the ground with seemingly nothing. He and the work he has called me to do is all that matters to me. Thus, I move forth in obedience not questioning fearlessly into this embodied existence.
