Too often we think we aren't ready for what God wants us to do-we're scared of screwing up or of what people will think of us- and we try to suppress the Holy Spirit tugging at our hearts, but we eventually have to realize that it's not about whether we feel ready, it's about doing what God wants regardless of whether we "feel" ready, because He knows what we can handle, and if He knew the situation is too much for us, He wouldn't have put us up to it. Ultimately, when we "spend ourselves for Jesus", we are set free by obeying God. It seems almost contradictory, but if you ever experience it, you don't feel tied down at all.
