Life with Christ can be like an acrobat falling from high above. You're not sure how far or how fast you will fall, but you can be certain that the net is there, that it will catch you eventually. Falling is not failing, it is letting go. My insecurities are fading. "That's not the point". If being in love is not the point of a covenant marriage, what other points have I been missing? While the Lord does love me and desires to give me an abudant life, possesions are not the point. Retirement is not the point. The balance of my savings account is not the point. The point is to be a fool for Christ. Every decision is a leap of faith, but every decision made with Him in mind, is a leap you can be sure of.
Philippians 1:20-22
20I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. 21For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 22If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know!
1 Corinthians 1:25
25For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength.
