By His grace we stand (and rejoice) in hope of God's glory. Knowing this goodness of God, we can stand faithfully in our belief (even when life is looking grim).
It is God who directs our lives, and if we cannot see many results in life, do not become discouraged. God grants us contentment, even without results.
We stand in hope of His glory. Faithfulness in Him.
Focusing on life's results can be a burden! So as I push past any results that aren't what I anticipate... I can do it for God's pleasure and for my Heavenly Father to smile. When I'm standing and rejoicing in the glory of God, my treasure is in heaven.
When we lose sight of our here-after, we lose heart.
When my faithfullness grows weak, and when things in life are uncertain, I know one things is for sure: that Jesus Christ loves me with amazing love. Even with all my "why's" and questions and "woes"... I know that my Lord loves me and holds what's BEST for me. That knowledge gives joy!
My life and periodic faithlessness really points me back to God's faithFULness.
As merely a man, what can I offer in life? Truly? Most of the time, we're confused, we're apologizing, and we're hopeless without our Lord's direction! What am I to offer?
Just remember, God loves the servant more than the service.
As God's own child, He wants me to grow properly - the way a child of God should grow. He loves me because He is in love with me.
How can I be faithful?
Because HE is faithful.
Yesterday, in the midst of my struggling day, I took evening time to run around my neighborhood's streets. Endless thoughts were in my head, wearing me down from all that entangles me. As I stopped jogging for a brief moment, I felt a cool, soft breeze hustle every tree around me - and all was quite in my head, except for these words, which ring true:
"Be sill, and know that I am God."
Look to the heavenly skies, and be still. Know that He is God.
