Faith is such a lofty word and it’s hard to imagine what a life of faith would look like.
The following is a description of my mental image of faith…
Imagine a cliff – high up, isolated, dusty, and majestic.
The wind is blowing and the clouds are within arms reach.
You walk to the edge and you hear the frightening yet soothing sound of wind.
You then take a few steps back and you begin running full speed towards the edge.
As you draw closer to the edge of cliff, you are trusting that God will catch you because…
“Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” (Hebrews 11:1)
You are sure that God will catch you even though you might not see him over the cliff.
That’s faith. And faith is freedom.
Let me end by quoting my beautiful and insightful wife:
“What’s so wrong with being afraid when you know you are in the embrace of the one who created the universe?”
