'The Agape Letters' to the House of Faith!

Volume 4 Chapter 5 Page 13

Wednesday May 23, 2007       6 Sivan 5767 (Hebrew 8th Month)

"Confident and Mature!"

 
"Enduring Joyfully!"

 

Romans 5:4 (Amplified Bible)
 
And endurance (fortitude) develops maturity of character (approved faith
and tried integrity). And character [of this sort] produces [the habit of]
joyful and confident hope of eternal salvation.

 

When facing the many struggles of living as a Believer in Christ, it is Enduring them with Confidence which matures us and becomes testimony to our unfailing HOPE in HIS Promise of Eternal Life.

Countless generations of millions of people have searched endlessly for Happiness and Joy through the lives of the famed and celebrated, finding only despair and regret in the emptyness of their search.

Only Life that is Eternal, and found only in Christ Jesus, soothes the heart which has been burdened by the guilt and shame which results from this misguided quest.

God's Spirit of Righteousness exudes the Power to conquer those daily struggles which many generations have faced and failed to overcome, because maturity has eluded them.

The Apostle Paul became Victorious over those obstacles which seemed at every turn to weaken his Faith and destroy his Integrity.

Unshakeable Confidence and unfailing Hope, comes from having a committed and deep rooted allegiance to Christ, which Holy Spirit strengthens during these struggles.

I know God's Promise is fulfilled through Christ, and that Eternal TRUTH is what develops this character which Paul describes, where Confidence and Maturity brings about a bolder and ever increasing determination to share the Gospel of Life.

More of who Christ IS to me!

          MORE like HIM,

                        I desire to be!!

                      Some day SOON, with HIM I will BE!!!

O'Lord, my Joy comes from YOUR Spirit of Power,
which destroys the enemy and leads me to Victory!
Grow my Faith each day O'Lord, that I might please YOU,
deepen my committment to speak YOUR WORDs of Life!!
YOUR Glory surrounds me and causes my heart to leap,
for the Joy of knowing others will find YOUR Grace!!!
Many will be strengthened and their Happiness made complete,
Eternal Life is assured by believing in YOUR Son alone!

HE is Lord!
Amen and Forever!!!
