During a week’s conference near the ocean every morning was spent on the beach at dawn. The problem was – it was wintertime!

 

I have found the only way to get into the surf on a chilled winter’s morning is to dive. No hesitancy, but straight in, to experience all the reactions the body has to offer.

 

Immediately you come up gasping for breath, with every part of the body screaming escape. But as the seconds extend into minutes the invigorating experience actually becomes quite pleasant, with both mind and body beginning to feel quite warm in parts.

 

It’s quite funny – the skin is cold, but the body is warm!

 

Your next step with Jesus could be the same. You may be facing something you don’t understand, or don’t want to do in the slightest, but know God is urging you in that direction.

 

You can ease your way in, or like the winter surf plunge, just dive straight into what God has for you to experience.

 

At least you know…

 

“I am with you always, even to the end of the world.” Matthew 28:20
