I remember when Bishop Johnson responded to the missionary enthusiasm of newcomers to the mission scene. When people would say that they wanted to go to missions, his response was always, "Do you have a passport?". He knew that faith demands action, and without action, faith is mere wishing with too many words mixed in.
The practical response to our enthusiasm and idealism is .......Do.
Unless we do, our dream will die. Unless we do, our faith is useless.
The steps to success may be baby steps, but faith requires action because action is the proof of faith. No excuses, no substitutes, no long winded explanations. We just need to do.....something.
Today when you dream, take a step toward the dream. Today when you pray, be ready to become the answer to your prayer. "Here I am Lord, send me".
Do you have a passport? Prepare to go. Take the first steps of faith and watch heaven respond.
Mark
