When we offer ourselves to follow Jesus unreservedly, we most likely have in mind doing anything, even walking to the ends of the earth, for him, but most of the time, the "unreservedly" means that we have to follow a path we did not have in mind, or that did not match our ambition or expectation. We hope for job interviews to get us where we want to be, or a healing prayer service to cure us or a friend immediately, but the job goes to someone else, and no apparent healing takes place. Are we still willing to "follow unreservedly"? We have to adjust our prayer, our hopes, our dreams to mean, whatever YOU want, Lord, not what I want. Disappointment is a teacher and leads us to a deeper level if we can put aside our expectations and follow without any conditions, and hidden agendas, any reserve. Jesus, teach me to follow you unreservedly as you followed the will of your Father.
