R WE CRAZY ?

WHERE IS THE LINE BETWEEN GREAT FAITH AND INSANITY?

AS I STRIVE 2 FOLLOW CHRIST DOWN THE STRAIT PATH I AM OFTEN ASKING MYSELF AM I OPERATING IN GREAT FAITH, OR IS THIS JUST INSANE? MAYBE U HAVEN'T BEEN THERE YET, BUT THIS IS A RECURRING THEME IN MY DAILY LIFE.

THOUGH PETER'S WALK WAS LITERAL, I LIKE HIM CLIMBED OUT OF THE SPIRITUAL BOAT OF NATURAL SECURITY QUITE SOME TIME AGO, AND I COULD'NT TELL U THE COUNTLESS TIMES I'VE LOOKED AT THE WAVES AND SANK HAVING LOSS SIGHT OF JESUS.

GRANTED STEPPING OUT OF THE BOAT REQUIRED GREAT FAITH, BUT MY QUESTION ARISES BCAUSE ONCE BACK IN THE BOAT I TEND 2 STEP BACK OUT AGAIN AND AGAIN WHICH BRINGS ME FULL CIRCLE 2 THE QUESTION IS THIS INSANITY, OR AM I OF GREAT FAITH?

BELIEVE ME I AM NOT JUMPING INTO STORMS AS A SPORT, BUT EACH TIME I EXIT THE BOAT I TRULY BLIEVE GOD HAS BECKONED ME "COME". EACH TRIP ONTO THE WATER APPEARS 2 LAST LONGER, BUT THE CONSEQUENCES ALSO APPEAR 2 BE GREATER, CAUSING GREATER STRESS, DOUBT, AND UNCERTAINTY DUE 2 THE INCREASING LENGTH OF TIME SPENT IN THE STORM.

OF COURSE THE REWARD IS LARGER WITH THESE LONGER WALKS AND GREATER RISK, BUT I ALSO QUESTION IS IT INSANE 2 EVEN DESIRE SUCH LOFTY GOALS IN CHRIST.

UNLESS U'VE BEEN WHERE I'M TALKING ABOUT U PROBABLY WON'T B ABLE 2 IDENTIFY BUT THE PULL, THE ALLUREMENT IS SO STRONG IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE NOT 2 JUMP OUT OF THE BOAT. WHEN U GENUINELY BELIEVE GOD HAS CALLED U THE URGE 2 VENTURE INTO THE UNKNOWN IS BEYOND DISCRIPTION.

I'M INTELLIGENT ENOUGH 2 ENJOY THE DRY SAFETY OF THE BOAT, BUT THERE ALWAYS SEEMS 2 BE SOME UNSEEN, SUPERNATURAL DRIVE, OR VISION BECKONING 4 ME 2 VENTURE OUT INTO THE UNKNOWN ONCE AGAIN.

SOMETIMES THE WALKS IN THE STORMS SEEM SO LONG NOW, I BEGIN TO QUESTION IF PERHAPS THIS TIME I LEFT THE BOAT ON MY OWN, AND THE INEVITABLE QUESTIONING OF MY SANITY AND/OR FAITH ARISES ONCE AGAIN.

TODAY I MUST APOLOGIZE 2 U BECAUSE I HAVE NO ANSWER TO THIS

DILEMMA: A situation that requires a choice between options that are or seem equally unfavorable or mutually exclusive.

I MYSELF AM ONCE AGAIN IN A PLACE THAT SHOULD THE LORD CHOOSE NOT 2 RESCUE ME, AND PLACE ME INTO THE SAFETY OF THE BOAT I SHALL SURELY DROWN.

AS ALWAYS THERE APPEARS 2 B AN OPPORTUNITY OF NATURAL RESCUE RIGHT NOW B 4 IT IS 2 LATE, BUT MY INSANITY OR GREAT FAITH FEARS THAT IF I CLIMB INTO THE BOAT ON MY OWN I WOULD WASTE ALL THE WATER WALKING, ENDURING STORMS, AND VISIONS OF DYNAMICALLY EFFECTIVE MINISTRY IN VAIN, AND I BELIEVE I FEAR LOSING THIS EXPERIENCE WITH GOD MORE THEN DROWNING.

AM I CRAZY, OR IS THIS GREAT FAITH? THE LINE SEPERATING THE 2 IS SO THIN IT IS OFTEN DIFFICULT 2 TELL WHEN CROSSING FROM 1 TO THE OTHER. I GUESS ONLY TIME WILL TELL !


PRAY GOD'S PEACE N MERCY B UPON U AND URS !
