Look around you.
Catch a vision of the world that surrounds.
Peek, glare, glance or stare
But take a mental picture
Of where you stand and ask yourself
"Should I be here?"

Rustle the comfy covers that keep you warm
In the king sized nest you have made for yourself.
Get up, rest your back and ask,
"What am I doing?"

Spring to your feet and view the horizon.
Sip your coffee and spend an extra five minutes in your dining chair.
Query your world view and test your wisdom
Before you go on circling in this tree top world you know as everything there is.
Ask yourself. Really, ask yourself, "Is this really everything there is?"

I did that and it had an effect.
I realized that life was pointless and I needed God.
I folded the sheets and laced my boots.
I said goodbye to the tree squirrel and my blue bird friends.
I said farewell to everyone that said something was wrong with my head.

I took the leap and searched for Him.
There was no middle ground, only free fall.
I thought I would end up with nothing to show for it
With the world mocking as my head splatters on the pavement.
I took a chance and guess what I found?

I found love, I found peace and I found joy.
Fulfillment flew across my face with the evening breeze.
So, I plead. Step out of your fears of failure and unworthiness
The same fears of persecution, of hate that shackled me.
You know you want to. You know you have to.

The treetop of your simple life should not be all you experience.
God has so much in store for you.
So don't just perch, sitting there.
Spread your wings, catch the wave.
Your Father is calling you to greater things.
Answer the call. It's time to fly.
Jump.
