I might as well confess that I am an adrenaline junkey, I love the thrill when my body surges with adrenaline and danger is imminent, this is why I’ll throw myself out on a steep hill feet strapped down to a small board braving ice and snow, just to feel the wind in my hair and the rush as I zoom down the slope. This is why I would strap myself up to a 15m2 kite and let it drag me around over the waters as the wind incredible pull tugs me of the surface of the water.

When I patrolled with the angels it was the knowledge that I could at anytime be faced with 18th street or temple street gangbangers armed to the teeth (them not me) and have to deescalate a situation fused with danger and potential harm. When I am diving it’s the knowledge that I am immersed in a world closed off to normal people seeing sights that are not part of the every day routine. But also knowing that the only thing keeping me breathing down here is the tank on my back and the regulator in my mouth.

Do I have a deathwish? NO!!

I have a lifewish! I wish to feel alive, to suck the marrow out of life, to experience the fantastic life we have been given to the fullest. To go boldly where noone has gone before, to explore the fullness of my humanity, to reach the edge of my capacity and to grow, expand, and blow my horizons.

I believe it is the same with our faith. Just to believe in God is to throw yourself of a cliff not knowing if anyone will catch you, allthough He does, time and time again. The thrill of hearing the whisper of the spirit telling you to deliver a message from God. The rush of sharing your faith with complete strangers.

Our faith in God needs to be full throttle, only then will we get to experience the fullness of God.

We need to go boldly into the world and know that if God is for us, then surely we will not have to fear anyone who would go against us. Battles are dangerous places but we have double insurance. If the hurt us, Jesus will heal us, if they kill us we go to heaven with Jesus!

Not  deathwish but a lifewish or even better a Godwish. I wish to experience God to the extreme!
