To dare is to initiate without guarantees that the end may be satisfactorily assured.

Thus daring to configure oneself when an exact road to follow does not exist. At times, upon risking we are brought to unknown paths, already the journey demands the call to trailblazing

Daring in God is to cast oneself in His hands, having only the starting point and the impulse that He gives us, without even glimpsing the means and provisions for the journey and nor the assurance of arrival.

Certainties make our initiatives mere mechanized gestures,the  cause and effect are expected. This does not come to be faith.

There exist phases of life in which the person should, through common sense, draw himself to assurances.

“Trust in God, but tie your horse”

Therefore, Christianity is a religion of faith and of risk. “Faith without works is dead” (James 2:26) and these works should be moved by boldness of  whom does not see, but trust in the word of the One that asks.

Likewise, we pause to ourselves and others, faced with something that looks too big.

We forget that we can count on the gifts that the Father gives us when we were formed and those received through the power of the Holy Spirit when we asked Him His effusion. Therefore, why such fear?

The sensation of fear does not make right being unsuccesssful, the exaggerated consideration of our limitation cannot be greater than hope and perseverance. For these two tools, the Spirit of God in union with our qualities acts in a way knowing the cause, having wisdom and discernment of how to procede and each try, we improve the strategy.

If today is uncertain, tomorrow will be different.

that which we cannot do is to remain still.

The faith that you profess is the hope, in your humanity is a soul cast for the challenges and your happiness is at the limit of the horizon where you can arrive. Are you going to remain in hope, then?

God Bless You!
