Complex thoughts and diverse battles is something that is a reality in everybody's life.
We face high mountains with rocky pathways, we find ourselves next to active volcanoes close to eruption, we stand in vulnerability to love even our enemies, but right now, I face rough rivers without bridges, and my goal is waiting in sight on the other side and the only way to reach it, is to jump in and swim between the sharp rocks and high grade rapids with tons of water rushing at high speed.
The longer I hesitate and wait for the water to miraculously become calmer, the more difficult it becomes, the rougher it starts to appear, the more challenging it becomes with thoughts of uncertainty rushing through my mind..
JUMP! Before your mind starts thinking of what could happen, trust and see what does happen... and as the thought comes in your mind "man, I'm gonna die".. the feeling of adrenaline pumps in and you jump, in the icy rough waters to reach what your spirit desires.
Every single thought in your mind comes to a complete stop.
The only thing that's in your mind is to get to the other side, to swim with great brawny and valor... and as the adrenilaline soaks in, your air passages expand in your lungs, your natural survival instincts kick in because of the exhilaration, your blood is pumping, you're not even looking at where you're swimming, but you're going at it with full force and the next thing you know, you're on the other side, in a arms length away from your "goal".
I could have also used the concept on tattoos and how that also relates, as well as piercings and over coming addiction, but this is a different kind of wild.
What I'm trying to say in this concept is that Jesus' love is so powerful that he will not even hesitate jumping in the water for us, His ultimate goal is to reach out to us. We are His goal. And how many times do we hesitate to jump for Jesus? I know I do. I'm homosapian so that's natural...
But here, he has not called us in the natural, he has put us in the supernatural.
He's taught me to be fearless in the face of my enemies and to be brave in the storm, to embrace how the sun kisses my skin, to be curious about the moon and how she always changes, to count the uncountable stars, and imagine how trees breathe and talk to each other, to sing a unsung song and play an unheard melody, to imagine, create, indulge, love and have passion in loving him, for people and life, to be creative in the gifts he has given me.
My goal is to know him more and more, he's a never-ending adventure.
He's an adventure within an adventure.
As I tap into him, I'm not escaping reality, I'm tapping into ultimate reality.
He's far more real than the world we see, hear and touch.
Tap in.
