Without risk, without stepping into the unknown, there is no need for faith. Being comfortable allows dependence on ourselves, but putting aside our fear, taking a leap into the passionate side of our heart, brings us to utter dependence on Christ Jesus “the author and finisher of our faith.” I was being called to drop my fear of the known and risk the “what ifs” to find more of God. I was being called to live my faith like a verb, not like a noun.
