Faith

I love talking about Faith.

It is because of Grace through Faith, that I am saved by the Blood of Jesus Christ!!! Hallelujah!!!

Let me share some verses with you that really have pierced my heart:

For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverence we wait eagerly for it.
Romans 8:24-25

That verse pierced me because of my current life situation of my wife filing for divorce. The pain of it has had me in a grip of despair.

Then God speaks Restoration and Reconciliation to me concerning my marriage. And I realize that He is telling me truth and it is a hope that I cannot see right now, since my wife is in the far country. Nonetheless, God is true to His word. He does not go back on His word. So...

My hope is in the LORD for He is the lifter of my head. He carries me when I can't walk. He protects me from the attacks of the enemy. What great power, strength, majesty and love He gives when I just trust in Him and believe.

Here's the second verse:

and the scripture was fulfilled which says, "AND ABRAHAM BELEIVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED AS RIGHTEOUS," and he was called the friend of God. James 2:23.

What a great assurance that when I believe, I too am a friend of God.

Thank You LORD for being my friend :)
