We need to take the blind jump off the cliff, knowing that He will catch us. When we fully understand this, and we show that it is all Him, He, in turn, shows that is was us all along. We have the capability for anything when we let G-d into our lives. We just need to push aside our own egos to let Hashem fully in.
