The Leap of Faith

Perhaps you have experienced the sensation of looking off a deep precipice of a mountain. The drop seems dizzying and treacherous. As you look out, it seems the landscape goes on forever, with more mountains to climb and overcome.

It feels just like this in life when you come up to an obstacle or challenge that pushes you to grow. This may be anywhere from your commitment to your healing and growth in consciousness to getting clear on and expressing your life purpose.

You know you need to jump, but you don’t know where life will take you or if you will succeed, let alone survive. You know you can’t stay where you have been. Your old structures and belief systems don’t support you anymore. You have outgrown your old way of being.

You have come to the “Leap of Faith”. It wouldn’t take faith if you knew you would make it. So you leap, sometimes sure that you will die. In a way, part of you does die, that part that was afraid and couldn’t see the bigger picture. Every time you take the “leap”, it gets easier, and you come to know that God is always there for you.
