Unknown Day: In the train and in the evening prayers.

When we ask our Father “what can we do?” in reference to our dreams, wishes and problems. He will probably say "Everything", for we can do all things in Christ if we have faith, ask in supplication and prayer, and seek first his righteousness and kingdom.

Isn't it written that even evil men will give their children good things? IF so, shouldn't we trust in the Lord that he reserves the BEST for his children and in all things that we seek Him first and set out upon in Faith?

That we can interpret faith, hope, and love in so many ways. That in all things we do and ask for, in our paths we take, if we have faith, no weapon formed again us will prosper, and all things we ask in righteousness will be added to us. Our paths are guided as we walk in Him, what should we be fearful about apart from falling off the narrow path. There is no fear when God shines His light into the darkness for us. Such belief is faith, from hearing, from the Word of God.

Hope, refers to trust in God’s promises. That we carry an optimistic outlook; there is no excuse for Christians to be pessimistic when we believe in a God of Hope. Hope is the silver lining and in every difficulty and added strength in every opportunity. Hence if we verbally claim to believe in Him whose Grace is sufficient and omnipotent is watching over us, what pessimism can we carry in us if we truly believe. If any, then it would be our natural self in which we should let go for "more of You and less of me."

And Love being the greatest of the 3, if we cannot have faith and hope; how do we sow into another’s life without burning out as we rely on our strength and not the promises of God in true Hope and Belief?

So in order to love effectively and not in futility, shouldn’t we always seek the way of He whom has loved us first and hence we love others in turn? His way, is found in Faith and Hope in God’s will, in God’s perfect plan, in God’s salvation; in God’s grace, in God’s providence, in God’s perfection! That we have been made whole through Christ, through the Cross, through the Word and then can we love effectively as workers of His kingdom.

Let’s walk this journey of faith, hope and love with the Lord. With a smile.

Amen.
