Strapped-on-Skydiving

There's a new form of sport-entertainment, in which a person goes up to try his hand at skydiving...only, he isn't alone. A skydiving instructor goes up with him, and strapped onto the instructor's back, they parachute through the sky together. I guess there's an added sense of safety with a good landing guaranteed at the end if the instructor is there too.

People who tried this kind of skydiving said it was "not at all scary; it was FUN!". It occurred to me, we can jump into any hostile environment guaranteed to cause emotional stress and find it not-at-all-scary AS LONG AS WE'RE STRAPPED ONTO THE DIVINE (spelling error intentional) INSTRUCTOR! In fact, we can have a great time flying through the air!

"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as SHEEP for the slaughter.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depths, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Rom. 8:35-39)

We are firmly strapped on! "Fastened firm and deep in our Savior's Love!"
