We are weak and trembling believers.

We falter on unstable branches.

We shake like the leaf.

The wind blows hard and cold as we flutter to the earth. The earth far but ever nearing. The heights, ever-growing and present.

But, we are grounded. We know who we are falling for. As we are taken by the wind, we are encouraged by the direction that is not chosen but given. We are guided by the seasons that change our colors and shape.

We may shake and tremble, but we tremble with power and shake with grace.

We fall like the leaf and sway like the tree.

For the Holy Spirit is our wind and his word is our roots.

The ground is our destination.

"Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:12

I have been apprehended so that I may apprehend and fall into him with just as much faith and trust as a leaf does the wind.
