Thought of the Day !!

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1 (NRSV)

I wonder how many people go to churches every week that don’t have this assurance. I'm talking about the people who come every week, but honestly don’t know if it makes a difference or not.

Faith is a gift. It’s truly believing the unbelievable. It’s God’s assurance that what we believe is true. And this comes to us when we ask for it.

John Wesley was having problems with his faith once, and he was about to give up preaching. But after asking a mentor about it, he was given this advice. Preach faith until you got it. And when you get it, you'll preach it because you got it.

If you don’t have that assurance deep down in your heart that Christ died to save even you…pray and ask for it. Prayerfully read your bible. Pray until you got it. Then when you get it, pray because you got it.

In the love of Christ,
