Today is Five Minute Friday where writers write for only five minutes forgetting everything technical and focusing only on the inspirational. Today’s topic is: Jump.
My perfectionism is the culprit of me not being in a relationship with God the way He desires for me to be. I tell myself that when my spiritual life is organized – I create a prayer journal, I find a small group at church that “just clicks”, or there is finally time to complete every single day of my 365 day Bible reading plan – then I’ll be ready to know God. I’ll feel His presence, and He will speak to me. I’ll be holy enough then.
Each day I go in search of the newest and greatest to make this happen. I read blog posts, download printables, listen to podcasts. I try this friend’s “way” and that friend’s “way”. I even make up a few ways myself.
But I’m left just spinning a wheel. A wheel with no end. My effort to get into a perfect relationship with God leaves me without one at all.
When in the back of my mind, in an every so quiet whisper, all God says is “Jump!”
Jump in with all my imperfection. Jump in with all my baggage. Jump in with all my doubts. Just jump.
And let Him take care of the rest. The rest that I need. The rest I will receive from coming to Him.
How is God telling you to jump today?
