I should be exploding with joy and praise toward my Savior. I should be shouting from the rooftops, “I am redeemed!” I am saved and forgiven. I am healed and made new. I am wholly and utterly loved. I belong to God. He is my Father and I am His child.
But I feel like David…
Psalm 42:5
Why am I so depressed? Why this turmoil within me? Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him, my Savior and my God.
God is so good. Either I believe it, or I don’t. Either I live it, or I don’t. There is no half-way. There is no half-way… it echoes in my head. There was an ice-skating movie with this line in it, describing a huge and extremely risky move – something that had never been done, and would win them the Olympic gold. But it required complete commitment from the two skaters.
So does our faith; it requires complete and total commitment. That’s what Christ did. And there is no half-way. I must decide today, and every single day that follows, that the end is worth it. God has gone all-in, and so should I.
