I thank Christ
Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me faithful,
appointing me to his service. Even though I was
once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because
I acted in ignorance and unbelief. The grace of our
Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in
Christ Jesus. ~ 1 Timothy 1:12-14 ~
Amazing, because of Jesus, God actually believes in us, He believes in you. Still not sure? Think about it...
He trusts you with Treasures (Making you a steward of finance)
He gives you the freedom to become a unique person (expressing your gifts)
He shares responsibilities that will allow you to grow (being His hands and feet)
He places children in our care to nurture
He is honest in relating to you
He makes Himself available to be in communication with you
He offers you real encouragement
He listens, hears, and really cares about you
He is able and willing to offer grace and forgiveness to you and to everyone
This is a God that cares about YOU, this is a God that loves YOU. Even though you and I were haters of God in our unbelief He poured out His mercy so that we might bring Him honor, & therefore appointed us to His service. It is a great honor to serve the King, and through Jesus Christ, He trusts You and Me to carry out this service. You simply don't give someone those kinds of responsibilities if you don't believe they can carry it out, and are not willing to provide them with everything they need to be successful.
Believe in a God that believes in You!
Believe in a God that believes in You!
