Leap, and the net will appear.

I think I'm like most people - we fear the unknown and the things that have yet to come to pass, which are the very things that don't deserve to be feared. When you give God complete control, it's very hard not to be fearless.

Sometimes all you need is a big leap of faith.

I don't usually suggest going into something you cannot do, but sometimes you gotta jump in and land on your feet.

The willingness to take risks is our grasp of faith.

When we leap, we must leap as though the net will appear. A leap in life, however big or small, is an act of commitment with the expectation of success.

Death - Death can be faced, dealt with, adjusted to, outlived. It's the not knowing that destroys interminably...

I rest my soul on that.

Doubt is a necessary precondition tomeaningful action. Fear is the great mover in the end.

You want to do something for the Lord...do it. Whatever you feel needs to be done, even though youre shaking in your boots, youre scared to death -- take the first step forward.

In each experience of my life, I have had to step out of one little space of the known light, into a large area of darkness. I had to stand awhile in the darkness, and then gradually God has given me light. But not to linger in. For as soon as that light has felt familiar, then the call has always come to step out ahead again into new darkness.

You must learn to walk to the edge of the light, and then a few steps into the darkness; then the light will appear and show the way before you.
