Dive – Steven Curtis Chapman

So I had the opportunity this weekend to attend the Golden State Youth Councils as well as other things. The theme for the retreat was CHOSEN. My friend and old camp counselor Jim Sparks talked about how many are called but few are chosen. He tied it into how we must DIVE into our relationship with Christ. I thought immediately of the song by Steven Curtis Chapman. “In over my head I want to be, Caught in the run, lost in the flow, in over my head I want to go, the river’s deep, the river’s wide, the river’s water is alive, SO SINK OR SWIM, I’m diving in.” Think about that, SINK OR SWIM, whatever you want LORD, Whatever it takes, I want to be so immersed in you that I’m in way over my head! Can you imagine that. I have been in currents that are hard to keep my head above, I cant even begin to imagine how that would be  spiritually. To have NO/ZERO/ NOTTA? control of things? What a concept! And yet, we are CHOSEN to do just that. It reminds me of the words in Romans, we are called, we are chosen, we are justified in Christ, and we will be forever glorified. I want that, how about you?
