close your eyes and follow Christ

Recently, I have begun to trust and respect someone greatly. Though our friendship has been short, he has taught me a lot through his wisdom, and his friendship. One thing that he said to me, really caught my attention. I have no doubt in the world that it was a God thing. The conversation is a blur to me, but what caught my attention was when he said "close your eyes and follow Christ" and my quick reply was "that's so scary though". And it does seem VERY scary. But what he said than, really made me realize how strong this guy's faith is. He said "It looks scary, but is it?". We then moved on to another subject, but that stayed with me. We play all these crazy trust games, where we fall on people and stuff, but the ultimate test of trust is in Jesus. Do we truly trust him? Are we willing to close our eyes, and let him lead us? Yeah, it'll be dark, and sometimes, we will run into things, but only to protect us from running into worse. Sometimes when we run into these things, we think that Jesus is doing a bad job, but only because we cannot see what we did not run into. Are you willing to close your eyes and follow Christ? Are you willing, to take that first step. Hand everything over to him, and let him lead you? Yeah, it's going to be scary, and sometimes it'll hurt, but the prize in the end will be like none other.
