Breathless

...living in His footsteps is hard.

Sometimes, it requires allowing a beloved dream to die to follow His will.

...it hurts.

Taking a massive step, knowing that it's only Him that will keep you from toppling off the cliff.

...it's frightening.

Lowering your clenched fists and allowing Him to take control in an area when you just can't seem to hold on anymore.

...it's heartbreaking.

But, on the other side...

It's knowing that you'll always have someone who's holding your hand when you can't see the path anymore.

...it's reassuring.

Knowing that there is Someone who loved you enough to let it go and lay it all down -- even at the cost of His own life!

...it's extravagant.

It's something I don't deserve.

It's never-ending.

It's limitless.

It's indescribable.

It's fresh and new every morning.

It's restoring.

It's Jesus Christ.

...and He leaves me breathless.
