Mind the GAP

“If we never had the courage to take a leap of faith, 

we'd be cheating God out of a chance to mount us up with wings like eagles and watch us soar.” 
― Jen Stephens, The Heart's Journey Home -

Everybody has been told that your life is about taking a risk, right?! Staying in the comfort zone, won't help you grow, or make you better. There's always a gap between where you want to be and where you are now. And to get to where you want to go, you have to take the leap of faith. 

The other day at the church, we were given this message called "Mind the Gap" by Robert Fergusson. It was pretty incredible. So, we all have a gap in our life. Gap between where you want to go and where you are, between how faithful you are and how faithful you want to be, how much you want to have and how much you have... etc, etc.... And for us to get there, 

1) we have to be honest about the GAP.

2) we have to be hungry, desperate to fill the GAP.

3) we have to be humble enough to admit that we can't fill the GAP on our own. 

it was very interesting how he explained it. Remember the guy who got stuck in between the train and the station?! And how all the people got out and pushed the train to get him out? One person didn't mind the GAP and affected so many people, right?! We have to admit that there's a gap in between. And we have to be aware of that. We cannot pretend that there isn't. We can't pretend that everything is fine. We can't pretend that everything is perfect and we have everything we want when you are actually struggling to pay the bill. We have to be honest about the GAP. And just being honest about it isn't enough. We have to want to fill the gap. We have to be willing to do the work, willing to show up even in the midst of the struggle and take the chance. And then, we have to admit that we can't fill those gap on our own. Only God can do. He wants you to get to the other side. He wants to help us. But first, we have to be honest with where we are. He knows where you are. He knows what you want. He knows you where you should be. He knows all of that and beyond. So it's only natural to have faith in Him, isn't it?! 

1) Make a decision 

2) take a step

3) awaken who you ought to be

Let's take that leap of faith. We are already here, which means we deserve to be here, were are meant to be here. So, why not believe?! why not have faith?! If we don't take that leap of faith, we're going to keep wonder how things could have been, or would have been. So, let's take an action, even if you fail or make a mistake, at least you'll know. You'll learn what not to do, don't you think!? It might not even be something you actually want to do in a first place. God puts all those thoughts into you for a reason. Believe in Him. And you'll see how wonderful He made you to be. 

Love, Hope, Faith.
