There we are on the edge, counting and widening our arms, "1, 2, 3… 1, 2, 3...". We bend down and lean forward until trust and courage lift us from the ground.
“Jump!"
We swim with all our energy and might. We smile, we laugh, we fix our eyes on the goal: a bright yellow ball. It moves, we swim faster! We stretch, reaching a little farther.
"Got it!”
With great joy, we hold it in triumph. In triumph, He holds us with great joy.
Just as it was Him who caught us, it was Him who carried us. Although His hands were unseen under the water, they lifted us and supported us above it. And we “swam".
Where has God led you to? Jump. What has God prepared for you? Swim.
“I can do all things through him who strengthens me." (Philippians 2:4)
“for apart from me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5)
