There's An Ocean Out There

"You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore." 

Christopher Columbus

 Maybe today you are safe on your shore. You are comfortable, you are steady, and secure. Yes, it is all very nice, but when you look out in front of you, you see the ocean. The large, vast ocean that is just waiting to be explored. But listen, in order to explore that ocean, you are going to need to leave your shore.

 But why would we give up our safe and cozy shore for an unknown ocean? Why would we want to leave this place that we are in? Well you see, you may not want to leave the shore, and maybe you never will want to, but it is not a matter of wanting to leave, but rather, it is a matter of wanting something more, wanting the miracles, opportunities, and blessings that God has in store for us. But to get those things, my friend, you have to go out on the ocean. 

 Now yes, I know it can be scary to step out to where you are not comfortable. It can be terrifying to not know what lies ahead, but you should also feel some sort of excitement, be excited about your future and trust in the fact that, wherever it is that your path takes you, God is never going to let you fall, He is going to be guiding you the entire time, and He is going to make sure that you get the best future possible. See, going out on the ocean, whatever your ocean may be, can be scary, but who is the one that walked on the water? And who is the one that is guiding you? So we don't have to be afraid! we don't have to be worried! We just need to step off of the shore, because there is an ocean out there, an ocean full of miracles, blessings, and opportunities just waiting for us to discover.
