Many people are content with wading only ankle deep into Gods love. Its nice. It feels good. Its safe. And they still feel in control. Its like spending your day splashing around in the kiddie pool.
But the real fun...the real adventure...is in the deep. God invites each one of us to jump into the deep end with Him. In the deep end your feet cant touch, and theres no life preserver to grab hold of. All you can do is swim, and trust Him to be there when you need Him.
