The water is still, like glass, as I sit at its
edge
-
Jesus, sitting
with me, encourages me to step out,
-
Step out into the
water
I hesitate…
What if I slip?
What if I lose my grip?
What if my energy for this cause drains away?
What if I don’t finish just like so many times
before?
What if I fail?
This still pool of water awaits my step
-
It is there for me
Can the ripples of my stepping into my pool
reach pools by which others sit?
-
Can they reach
pools around the world?
-
A child’s pool
stilled by dreams shattered
-
A woman’s pool
stilled by hope taken
-
A man’s pool
stilled by options lost
-
Pools of those
living under oppression and injustice
-
Pools waiting to
be stirred
I stand and pause…
Will I trust Him?
Will I take the risk?
Will I go in?
Will I take this step?
I take Jesus’ hand and we step into the water
- The ripples start slowly then gain
momentum…rolling away
-
I pray they become
unending ripples of God’s provision sent out, leaving hearts touched, souls
awakened, and the oppressed free around the world
You are sitting by your still pool
-
You are not alone
-
Is it time for
your first step?
Take
His hand, trust Him, and go in…
