Do you trust me?

I hated my Jasmine costume. First of all, mine was purple and gold instead of turquoise. The top revealed my midriff and the gold fringe scratched my ribcage. The pants fit someone three times my size. As a matter of fact, I pretend we never tried to pull off Aladdin in high school. Girls played the parts of the Sultan, Jafar, Iago, and every character except for Aladdin and the Genie. The magic carpet sat on a trolley pulled by two girls in black. Aladdin never learned his lines and refused to sing.
The Genie and I had always been like family, but this musical made us even closer. It was like a train wreck. You don't want to watch, but you just can't look away.
Most of that musical/movie is still tucked in the recesses on my memory, and sometimes it pops outs unexpectedly.
I haven't posted in a while. Since my last post, so much has happened in my life. I moved from Manhattan. I'm starting a non-profit. Crazy stuff is happening. I've got a lot going on. I  fell asleep praying the other night, and I woke to this question.
"Do you trust Me?"
It stuck with me all day. I know I trust God. When I hear His voice, I follow. I know how faithful and true He is. As I mulled over the question, I remembered my Jasmine experience. This is the most important line in the whole script.

Aladdin firsts asks Jasmine if she trusts him as they run from the palace guards. When the guards chase them to a window, Aladdin steps out and offers Jasmine his hand.
"Do you trust me?"
"Y-yes..." she uneasily responds.
"Then, JUMP!" Aladdin shouts as they fall through clotheslines and land unscathed. In our version, we just jumped off of the stage.

The next time he asks, Jasmine's trust results in a magic carpet ride through the stars.

I think this is where we are. God asks, "Do you trust Me? Then, JUMP!"
The greater the risk, the greater the reward. Handing our hopes and hearts over to an invisible God is risky, but "I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ." (Philippians 3:8).

I guess it's time to jump!
