Faith is a tightrope on a foggy day.

Faith is like walking on a tightrope on a foggy day. You can't see the end, only what's right in front of you. All you can hear are the shouts below you, trying to trick you, saying there is another way to the end. Or do you hear the ones yelling out, "You'll never make it!"? 

Jesus is walking on a tightrope parallel to yours, don't you hear Him? He's saying "Trust Me, don't listen to those people down below. Trust Me" But sometimes you can't hear Him, all you can hear are the shouts that insult you, ones telling you that your wrong, that there's another way. But they are wrong. 

Don't let them distract you from Jesus, no matter how hard it is. There is no other way to Heaven, except through Him, the Redeemer. If you trust Him, you'll make it, He promises all those who believe in Him in their hearts, will get eternal life. Isn't that simply a wonderful promise? If you believe in Him, while walking on the tightrope, you will receive the best gift of all. 

Living life with Jesus in Heaven. Forever.






"Faith is not knowing what the future holds, it's about knowing Who holds the future in His Hands."

He is your life guard.

Jesus is your lifeguard. He's the person who will run out and save you. 

He will fight the currents until He reaches you, and when He gets to you.

He will take you through the tough currents to the shore, because you aren't strong enough without Him. He will take you to the shore and heal you.

He will love you, even though you were frustrated and scared during the currents. He will love you in the calm and will love you in the storm. 

Even when you've had enough, and just want to give up and float off into the open sea. Trust Him. He will take you through the currents, the sharks, the waves. He will hold your hand the whole way. You do not have to be afraid.

Matthew 14:25-31 NIV

25Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.

27But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”

28“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”

29“Come,” he said.

Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

31Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”
