It doesn’t take a leap of faith to come to God! We just have to take a little hop, a baby step; to say a simple prayer; to cry to God; to have a willingness to believe the TRUTH. When we are willing to know the TRUTH, God bends over backwards (so to speak) to help us know Him. It’s a little faith. (Mark 4:30-32) It’s not a big leap – but could be a great change! If anyone did the leaping, it was Jesus! A leap is to ”jump or spring a long way”. Jesus Christ came a long way – from heaven on high to earth below – to be the Way for us. But when we but simply turn to God, He does the leaping – leaping for joy, I might add! (Zeph 3:17) He bridges the gap between us. He carries us a long way, out of the mud of our sin into the spiritual blue skies. It is JESUS CHRIST who accomplishes it. If you are willing to know the TRUTH, then simply pray, ”God, please show me the TRUTH.” (John 8:32)
