The sea in Cape Town is often icy. If you don’t swim regularly, you lose your tolerance for the frigid waters, making it hard to get used to it again. So why bother? Besides being a beautiful location for a dip, the benefit lies in the ocean’s temperature. Cold water boosts energy, improves sleep, reduces stress, heightens focus, and strengthens the immune system. It’s invigorating! However, cold water’s impact comes only from experience, not reading about it. The same is true for Jesus—you can read about him but never experience him. “You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life” (John 5:39-40). Jesus says, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10). This verse reminds me to leave my comfort zone and experience God through His Word, relationships, and creation. While swimming in freezing water may seem silly, the unseen benefits show what happens when you fully experience God and His creation. It’s invigorating!
