Free Fall

Life is like free falling from a very high place –

You sometimes float around and admire the beauty provided.

You sometimes are tossed and whirled about in a frightening show of helplessness.

You sometimes careen toward the bottom, head first and hell bent.

You sometimes glide smoothly, upheld by a gentle breeze.

But always, we are surrounded by a mighty light to show us

Exactly where we are in the moment,

If only we open our hearts to see.

And even if we don’t know why we are there,

We will know it’s a piece of our perfect puzzle that helps complete the why of us.

But the saving grace in this free falling life,
Is the fact we don’t need a rope on which to cling or a parachute on which to depend,

Because the safety net at the end of the fall is wide and sure.

It is eternal, unbreakable and immovable.

It is our Heavenly Father’s Steadfast Hand.

If we are His children,

We can abandon our fears

And fall, fall, fall…

Knowing the truth, that we are secure.

And in falling toward God, we will never fall down.

All we have to do is enjoy the ride.
