What does it mean to you to live by faith? Where is your security? Is it in people? In your bank account? Or is it firmly rooted and grounded in Me, the Lord your God, the divinity within you? Take time to ponder on it, and you will know without a shadow of doubt exactly where your faith and security lie. Can you joyously and fearlessly take a big step in your life without any seeming outer security? When you know something is right, can you do it without hesitation? Can you confidently put your hand in Mine and say, ‘Thy will be done’, and mean it with your whole heart and soul, and take that step into the unknown, willing to accept whatever comes? The only way to build up faith is by taking those small and even faltering steps and then bigger ones until your faith is so strong that you can take great leaps into the unknown because you know I AM with you always. 對我來說以信念為生意味著什麼呢？我的安全感在何處呢？在我的銀行賬戶裡嗎？還是它堅定地扎根於上天，主，我的上帝，在我之中的神性？花時間思考它，然後我會毫無疑慮地知道我的信念與安全感確切地處於哪兒。
我能在外界看上去沒有什麼安全感時，愉悅且無懼地在生活中大跨一步嗎？當我知道某件事情是正確的時，我能毫不猶豫地去完成它嗎？我能自信地將雙手放在上天的手中，說：「它們會被完成」，並且是全心全意地這樣認為，踏出進入未知的那一步，以及願意去接納可能發生的任何事嗎？
建立信念的唯一途徑就是通過踏出那些小小的甚至蹣跚的腳步，然後步伐再大些，直到我的信念強大到讓我能大步流星地踏入未知，因為我知道上天一直與我在一起。
