No Half-Way 3.23.19

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.
