Learning to swim could be a bit difficult especially when you don’t learn to let go of your fears, I recall the time I began my swimming lessons, I started out on the first day at the shallow end of the pool. I did remarkably well that first day and impressed my trainer. Of course it was really easy learning to breast stroke across the pool knowing that if anything is about to happen, I could easily reach the bottom of the pool and stand up.
My
trainer was so impressed with me that the next day he took me straight
to the deep end and told me to jump in. I was wondering if he was
talking to someone else when he yelled at me to jump in, I took the
jump and the series of events that occurred next, I will never forget
as long as I live.
The
instant I got underneath the water surface I knew I was going down,
instinctively my feet felt for the bottom and the realization that the
bottom was several feet below broke panic all over me. Then I began
struggling to reach the surface only to realize I was going further
down. Then suddenly I relaxed and discovered that the up thrust was
definitely strong enough to lift me to the surface. Once my head broke
to the surface I swarm to the edge.
On
my way home I heard God drop it in me, the chain of events explained,
He said that when you get into some difficulties you instinctively
think you know what to do and then when it’s not the same as what you
think you know, you begin to try all other human efforts only for
things to get worse till you let go and relax in my strong arm to carry
you, totally having faith in me, no matter how bad the problem may be I
will always cause you to break through. All you have to do is to lay
down your burden and I will carry you my child.
“……since
the day you were born I have carried you along. I will still be the
same when you are old and gray and I will take care of you. I created
you; I will carry you and always keep you safe.” Isa 46:4
