Take that First Step...

It seems as though once again, April Sisson finds the magical words to say, right when you need them...

"Sometimes you just have to choose to begin."Leap and the net will appear," we are promised. All we have to do is take that first step off the ledge. Boldness does have a certain magic to it. It's something that goes way beyond "if you can see it, you can be it" - although I have no doubt that that is true as well. A leap of faith requires more then just a jump; it requires the ability to absolutely let go of everything that's keeping us on the ledge, including that voice that says it just can't be done.If we feel we have to wait for just the right time and place to come and worship, we have yet to discover the real freedom of worship. Now isn't necessarily the time to worship because every moment is the time to worship. We are called to passionately embrace our God at every turn, through every minute, and in every way possible. If music is your worship, sing loudly. If service is your worship, serve extravagantly. If just being is your worship, live boldly. Jump into worship as bravely as you can jump into life, because the reality is, they are one and the same. Living every moment for the glory of God and to the glory if God is a never-ending adventure that, once begun, you'll never want to end. Don't wait until the moment is just right or you'll spend your life sitting on the shore watching for that never-to-come perfect wave. Carpe diem, as they say Seize every moment and dive on in. The water is fine.What keeps you from letting go of everything and truly worshiping God?I hope that you have a wonderful day.. and that today you can take a huge leap of faith.. jump into the water and see what God has for you!!"
