"Catch me, Daddy!" Fear and excitement danced in me as I sat atop the slide and gripped the sides. I wanted to fly down the slick surface into my father's waiting arms. Other kids had done it, but my 4-year-old hands just couldn't let go. It was a long way down to the bottom. If Dad missed me, I thought, I'd crash in the sand.
Without faith it is impossible to please God
After many long moments and my father's persistent reassurance, I let go. Dad caught me in his arms and hugged me close. My father wouldn't have asked me to trust him and then suddenly pulled away.
Neither does my heavenly Father play such tricks. He delights in our trust.
Show me how to let go and trust You more, knowing You'd never let me fall.
