Stephen Robinson shared a story about his daughter, Becky, who was scared of the water and couldn't learn to swim until he reassured her of his love and protection, drawing a parallel to our relationship with Christ and our fears of salvation.
When our twin daughters were small, we decided to take them to the public pool and teach them how to swim. I remember starting with Rebecca.
As I went down into the water with Rebecca, I thought, I'm going to teach her how to swim. But as we went down into the water, in her mind was the thought, my dad is going to drown me. I'm going to die.
The water was only three and a half feet deep, but Becky was only three feet deep. She was so petrified that she began to scream and cry and kick and scratch and was unteachable. Finally, I just had to grab her.
I threw my arms around her and I just held her. And I said, Becky, I've got you. I'm your dad. I love you. I'm not going to let anything bad happen to you. Now relax.
Bless her heart. She trusted me. She relaxed. And I put my arms under her and said, OK, now kick with your legs. And we began to learn how to swim.
