Taking a Leap of Faith

Instead of writing down all my thoughts, I want to write down the seed to many thoughts. I have always heard the analogy of the leap of faith. I am sure many of you heard it before. A man looks into the dark unknown and trusting in God, Christ, whatever it may be for you he dives into the unknown because he believes that what he is about to do is right. He trusts that by stepping into the dark, he might find even greater light, whether it is in gaining trust in another person or himself. Think of many of the explorers, inventors or faithful believers throughout the history of time. By not just steps, but a leap of faith they were able to overcome all odds and doubts to become who they are and whom we know them to be. You must replace fear with faith when you make such a leap.


Remember, leaping involves pushing away from what is secure.


"Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams."
~ W. B. Yeats
