I think all of us, at one time or another, will have a rope we must cut. The rope that keeps us bound to what makes us feel the safest is the rope that God will almost always ask us to cut. For Abraham the rope was Issac. For the prostitute that knew Jesus could save her, the rope was an alabaster box. For Moses the rope was a comfortable shepherd life on the side of a mountain. For Saul, who became Paul, the rope was his religion.
I, too have a rope to cut, and am trying to gain the confidence to cut it. Not knowing where we might land is what scares us away from cutting the rope. It feels safe when we can hang on to the proverbial rope. But, somehow we must realize that the rope is actually a noose around our neck, not a safety line.
