Confidence Before God
Now this is how we shall know that we belong to the truth . . .
Now this is how we shall know that we walk in Christ’s footsteps . . . when we show confidence as we do God’s work.
God is greater than our hearts and knows everything . . .
This is how we know that God guides us . . . when we show confidence in God’s plan.
We have confidence in God . . . and we do what pleases God . . .
This is how we know that we live in God’s plan . . . when we find serenity.
We will believe in the name of God’s son, Jesus Christ . . .
This is how we bring serenity to others . . . when we give all to God.
We will love one another as Jesus asked us . . .
This is how we are able to love our enemies . . . when we rest in God’s Spirit.
Those who keep this commandment of love remain in Christ . . . and Christ in them . . .
This is how we find peace in turmoil . . . when we allow Jesus to make a way for us.
The way we know that Christ remains in us is from the Spirit that he gave us . . .
This is how we know we have confidence before God . . . when we fully and totally and faithfully trust God.
Read Luke 17:5-10 and consider Jesus’ words to us as he describes faith and the attitude of a servant. For a reflection on this citation, click on the image above or go to: http://frvlad.blogspot.com/2013/10/trust-and-confidence-in-god.html
