I was at work this morning and I picked up a letter from a pastor in Munich. While I was reading it, this poem caught my eye. I felt God speaking to me gently saying “Do not be afraid! Go down into the plans of God”. This poem is a great reminder of how fragile and afraid we are and how God with his strong hands is there to guide us like small children who stumble and fall.
I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as I did this morning.
Go down into the plans of God.
Go down deep as you may.
Fear not for your fragility under that weight of water.
Fear not for life or limb sharks attack savagely.
Fear not the power of treacherous currents under the sea.
Simply, do not be afraid. Let go.
You will be led like a child whose mother holds him to
her bosom and against all comers is his shelter.
