(And it's difficult asking God when you can't trust your own heart.)
So what do you do? I guess you can always change your mind
- but the prospect of doing so can seem almost as scary as making the decision in the first place. Call me a coward.I don't think I'm normally like this. Perhaps I've been burnt too many times before. You can lose hope after a while - it can seem safer not to bother trying at all - but that's not really going to help anyone.
And the positives? Prospects of change, greater service to God, times of blessing and joy. What's the risk?
It's the fear of the great unknown - but when you've climbed onto the diving board, you can't really choose not to jump, no matter how stupid you look when you enter the water.

Yeah. Ever seen those shots of two people jumping off a high place into water together holding hands?
ReplyDeleteYou're not alone. There'll always be someone to hold your hand and jump with you.
I do like what stu says, but as in swimming we tend to take to the high dive board alone so to in life, we've just got to trust our friend to rescue us if we belly flop. Bit like climbing a mountian without a safety rope but trusting in friends to catch us if we fall.

I did look stupid. I think my friends helped me up again. But I've got lessons to learn.
