Faith is believing even when you don’t see any evidence. Faith is when you don’t have the answers. Faith is trusting in God that He will do what He promised He would do.
A friend of mine sent me a picture of a woman blindfolded walking off the side of the shore into the water, but faintly on the other side was God with His hand held out for her to step onto. The vision was so compelling to me that it moved me to think about my own level of faith. Where was it?
I have always had the strong desire to be an entreprenuer. To create a business that I enjoyed and that served a purpose. For some odd reason the idea of creating my own vision and destiny was very appealing to me. I never had the nerve to move forward, but I knew I had the passion to do it.
Well now that I am completing this life make-over, the feeling has come back stronger than ever. I have always worked with people creating their dream business, helping them excel and loving the feeling of being a part of someone’s journey. But now I feel it is my time to try it for myself.
All of it is an unknown for me because I have never tried it. Am I crazy to try something so risky in this economy? I don’t think so, because I know God and if I commit myself to Him, he said that He would give me the desires of my heart.
I have a great idea for a service that I want to offer; I have the skills and what I don’t have I will develop. Sometimes others may not see your dream as clear as you. Some people need to see the facts and the figures and the promise that everything will work according to plan. That’s not faith. Noah probably looked crazy to his friends too, talking about it’s going to rain for 40 days and 40 nights and flood the earth! But he kept on building the ark even though he saw no sign of rain. He had faith in what God had told him.
Just think if you never try, you will never know. I don’t know which is worse, never trying or trying and actually making it! I’m going to take the step, are you coming?
