Something in my heart melts when a little child squeals when they see me and comes running to jump straight into my arms. It doesn't matter if I'm carrying what feels like a 50 pound bag on my shoulder, or if hear my name shouted out and barely turn around in time to catch them--the child knows I'll catch them. They don't take a hesitant jump, they trust I'll catch them even when they're leaping through the air.
I don't know about you, but for me, when it comes to trusting God, I'd much rather take a hesitant few steps every so often. You know, stay in my comfort zone. But if a little child came walking up to me hesitantly every few minutes, my heart definitely wouldn't melt as much as it does when a little child leaps into my arms. I want them to know that they can trust me to catch them. Don't you think God wants the same for us? He wants us to trust Him fully. Not just with part of our hearts, but with all of our hearts. He wants us to trust Him so much that we know He'll protect us and take care of us. Even if we feel like we're falling, we're never alone. God is always right there with us, ready to catch us. Hebrews 13:5 says, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." Get out of your comfort zone and trust in God to help you every step of the way.
