I don't think I would ever have the courage to skydive either. But I have seen many of these parachutes glide down and land. It looks so peaceful and relaxed. But I think to myself that the moment of getting out of the plane is anything but relaxed. The Parachute is not yet open and it takes absolute confidence from the jumper that the Parachute will actually open when the ripcord is pulled. The jumper's life depends on this trust. If he does not trust, he will have doubts and for this reason will refrain from pulling the line - he would fall to his death. I feel a similarity in my relationship with God: He is always with me, very close like the Parachute at my back, and I can pull on the leash at any time. Although I am not spared difficulties, I still feel held and am certain that I will end up safely with Him at the end of my life. I hope this applies to you too.
I wish you an extraordinary day!
