I love to swim.
One of my favorite things is to jump, full force into a giant body of water.
I am not a "toe tester," "ease into-er," or "foot dangler;" If I am going to get in the water... I'm gettin' in the water!
I really don't have a preference of pools, lakes, ponds, ocean, etc. I just like to swim.
When I'm in the water I can spin around, flip spontaneously, dive down, shoot up, float, sink, blow bubbles, splash around, etc.
NASA does training in giant pools to simulate the weightlessness of space.
Outside of water... I don't take a lot of risks. I never flip.
Being at the center of what YHWH is doing is kind of like water. When you are submerged in His love, seeking His will... you don't worry about how foolish you look, or what your "abilities" are.
Sadly, we live so much of our lives as "fish out of water."
We play it safe.
A teaspoon of water can drown a grown man.
Water liberates and frees us... but it can also kill us.
Following Christ should never feel easy or safe.
...but...
In Him, we are free... free to flip.
