A step from the clouds (#10)

PROMISE #10 ~ LEAP OF FAITH

I am stuck in the clouds.

I am certain that one false move will take me careening toward the earth.

I prefer this envelope of false security… dependence on self… dependence on a chosen few that have my heart.

I trust the deceptive certainty of my own will, my own plans, my own heart.

I know I can count on me… after all

I can depend on my warrior…

There are a few close friends… some family…

I am fairly certain that my heart rests safely on the vapor of their humanness.

The truth is… I can trust them… I can trust me… as far as trusting a human soul holds water on its own…

Just like a cloud.

To step from the cloud… that is where the trust really lives… where the faith is born.

stepping out in faith

praying… praying

That He will catch me.

The God truth is… the One who bore me… all of us… into existence holds His hand under the billowy mist…

just waiting

waiting…

For me to leap.

 

PROMISE #10 ~ God will catch us in a leap of faith.

 

Psalm 28:7

The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped.  My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.
