I finally get it! I understand that pure pleasure my fishaholic husband gets when he sees a well situated live bait begin to swim extra fast. He knows that behind its panicking moves is a kingfish large enough to infuse real fear.
Then he sees
the splashes on the top, and he goes wild with excitement. He thinks he is controlled but he is not. Not even when he is viewing other fishermen’s Youtube clips of the same action. The same response every time was always hilarious, but is beautiful to
me now. In fact I think the more Stephen analyses the game and sets out his strategy, the more intense his feelings become when the bait is finally taken.
When I see my own children grasp something of God that we have been dangling in front of them
all their lives, it is an intense time too! My heart either swells too much, bursting with pride in my child and gratefulness to God for the opening of their eyes, or I have to be alone to let it out - and how that is done is my secret with God!
Take
pleasure in the joy of fishing for men! Learn the skills and set out great strategies. Let is addict you!!
