Faith is often called a 'leap.'
HOW APPROPRIATE!
How else could you possibly move from one point to another when there is no bridge?
Faith is leaping across gaps that exist between
the known and the unknown
the proven and the unproven
the actual and the possible
the grasp and the reach
the "I've got it" and the "I want it"
the knowledge and the mystery
the material real reality and the spiritual reality
the truth exposed and the truth undiscovered
the goals achieved and the goals still pursued
youth and maturity
sickness and health
sin and forgiveness
life and death
time and eternity.
Yes, there is always a chasm between today and tomorrow. I cannot be sure I can cope with tomorrow. But by a running leap I will jump into tomorrow with expectancy! There is always a chasm between my present achievements and my unfulfilled hopes and dreams.
By faith I make the leap-and grow!
What lies ahead?
Tomorrow?
Next week?
Next month?
Next year?
Beyond this life?
I BELIEVE!
I BELIEVE IN BELIEVERS!
I BELIEVE IN TOMORROW!
I'M GOING TO TAKE THE LEAP OF FAITH!
