dive into the Word.
what does that even mean?
do i dive like an Olympian,
with fancy twists?
bends?
jumps?
spins?
is there a judge
on the other side
qualifying my worthiness
to enjoy God's Word?
or do i dive because
that's the fastest way.
i need my mind
cleansed,
refocused.
and since diving goes head first
i dive.
since I am cold,
dirty,
tired
up here on the diving board,
anxious that i'll go in the
wrong way,
i will simply dive.
submerge.
get swallowed up in the
blurry water of grace
found in Your Word.
because i need You, Jesus,
because i love You,
i dive in
not counting on how i get there
but counting fully upon
there.
You. You, Jesus, are there.
You invite me to come,
not with a perfect heart,
creative soul,
attentive mind,
quiet body.
You invite me to come
because You know my
soul is thirsty and
You are the Living Water.
i'm diving in.

DeleteTHIS. <3 is so AMAZING! This is what I love reading on peoples blogs. You have given me a lot to think about and the message of this is really quite great. The fact that you can dive into Gods love or wonder about it is great. EPP! I LOVE IT.

Wow, Vanessa, you have the gift of encouragement.
DeleteYes, I wrote this when I struggled with feeling ready to read the Word. I realized that it isn't so much a feeling as a need.

ReplyDeleteWhy thank you! Lovely comment!
DeleteThese words have such life <3
ReplyDeleteThey were fueled by a soul-question before I read God's Word. The question of, "Why don't I feel ready to read these sacred writings?" Thank you for the comment!
