We are prone every day to preserve ourselves at all costs from our weaknesses, believing it could be the end of us if it comes on too strong or suddenly. We initiate a mechanism for the attacks of those weaknesses because we are fearfully certain it will come. Instead of embracing it as a teacher on the journey, we decide we would rather withhold hope of overcoming them than fall into its trap.
But what would it look like to live with hope that comes by us surrendering our self-preservation tactics and allowing vulnerability to be our companion on the journey?
We have the option to live closed off from hoping in exciting potentials and impossibilities. We can easily walk around with buoys and fences surrounding us to control the hope we invest out of fear we may feel the depths of disappointment
Or, we can go against the grain and risk allowing our hearts to beat for what is true of us and the dreams of the Father within us. For us to become less concerned by what may come, and more excited by what very well could be. We can choose to tap into what is live in this moment, no matter the unknown outcome. That is wild faith.
We miss something important in life when we put up walls around our hope. We miss the celebration of each step we’ve courageously taken when in the way we choose of giving up and we miss the rewards of faith when allow the benefit of our downfall. We miss being alive and vulnerable and plain human who is always in deep need of the Sovereign One. When we proclaim to the world that we’re living abundant and free, it must come with us willing to carry a wild faith even when it does not guarantee that everything will be smooth.
So I wait on You my God. And as how the sun beautifully sets on its place, I am tapping into the wildest faith to finish the race no matter what comes along the way.
