I’m linking up with
Lisa-Jo Baker’s Five Minute Friday, writing for five minutes with no extreme editing or
overthinking. This week’s prompt is “Choose.”
GO
Faith, for me, was a choice.
The night a pastor laid his hand on a Bible and said, “Either
all of it’s true, or none of it is,” I chose.
I chose faith.
And maybe that seems simplistic, or naïve, or somehow not
spiritual enough. But it’s true.
I needed something and here was hoe. I was tired of
grappling with points of law I didn’t understand. I was exhausted with fighting
Jesus’ insistent tugging.
So I chose.
When I hear people talk about being wildly in love with
Jesus, I can’t always relate. I am grateful to Him, yes. But I don’t know that I
can say I’ve had more than a few glimpses of that wildly-in-love feeling.
Perhaps that too is a choice, to keep getting to know Him
that I might more fully love Him.
STOP
