It’s time, beloved.
Yea, boy, it’s loooooooooooong past time.
Go on, now.
Take a breath and get on up on that diving board!
You can do it.
You CAN.
I know.
I know you are scared to death. Scared, you may fail. Scared, you may succeed.
Yep, you scared you just may well succeed and then you are stuck like chuck! Then, YOU are the one responsible for keeping the success successful. Leastwise, this is what you are thinking. High, up there, waaaaaaaaaaaaaay up high, contemplating if you will actually jump this time.
THIS, time.
YOUR, time.
Many times, both God and Life have asked you to trust and take that leap, do that dive, launch out into the deep.
You have argued, many, many times, that it was not yet quite time. You were afraid, still. You begged God, you begged Life, to at least remove the fear and THEN you would dive. Yeppers, THEN, AFTER the terror, the anxiety, the fear, all the hidden agendas and cracks and crevaces had been removed you would dive off and see what happens.
You would see, AFTER you could KNOW and see the outcome. Nopers, you were NOT going to go on head and jump until you were assured by God, by Life, that you would land smack dab in the middle of ooodles and oodles of praise, of success, of being seen, of being heard, of being valued, of receiving boat loads of treats, eats, meets, greets and all that comes with victory and victorious living.
So, now, here you sit, stand rather, while you peer down there, suspiciously, wondering if God, if Life, will be down there, in the depths, scuba mask wearing and waiting to catch you and keep you from all the unforseen rocks and situations and sharks and such which are ever lurking, down there!
God whispers “Jump”.
You holler back “I don’t think so!”
Life whispers “Dive in.”
You cry out “It’s too high”.
fear says ” Don’t trust Them. What do THEY know?”
You whisper “What if you are wrong?”
Anxiety shouts “fear is right!”
You wonder “anxiety may be right”.
It’s getting super cold, being up so very high, shivering from the wind blowing at your back. Your legs grow tired. Your heart grows weary of this forever battle of will you or won’t you. You, in fact, grow weary with the weight of your own expectations.
Below, all of Heaven or hooting and hollering for you to go on ahead and dive in and take your fears, ALL if it, with you. Heaven knows what you do not. What’s that? Only way to find out, beloveds, is to go on ahead and dive.
Below, God, Life, Jesus, your loved ones, your friends(even those who you thought couldn’t see) are all shouting for you to go on ahead and dive, taking ALL your fears and fear with you.
Below, life awaits. YOUR life. What will that life look like, once you have jumped?
*shrug*…don’t ask me. God knows and He ain’t tellin’!
cheering for you,
Cassandra
