Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better.

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

Before every moment there is a Moment. And before that Moment, there is a series of smaller moments, influencing and inspiring, ultimately leading you to the point just before the point of no return. It‘s the point when you decide to sink or swim, fly or fall, act … or not. It’s also scary (…or not).

The Moment (before the moment) probably looks different for me than it does for you. But however it looks, we are all faced with either giving up, giving in, or giving out (sometimes all three). This makes the Moment the most important moment. Will you miss out on the life God has in store for you, or will you taste His goodness and be awakened to a new kind of living?

Don’t be left on the roof living in what is and watching what could be. Cut the cords. Swim. Act.

Fly.
