Today... the end of student-mentor lessons... reminded me of the constant struggle... on this journey of faith...
A hard word... from a Savior who loves... promises His presence... in all things... at all times...
Faith... being sure of what you hope for... certain of what you do not see... in the trouble... (or even just the thought of trouble... looming in the unknown...) walking blind... this is faith... the struggle to resist the heavy... to shine light... in the dark... refuse to listen... to the doubt...
Can anything ever separate us from Christ's love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death?... No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
Romans 8:35, 37 NLT
(emphasis mine)
Remembering... seeing... staying focused... on this truth... is the exercise... the discipline... that keeps us moving forward... in faith...
This truth... the hope... that lightens... the load...
I praise You, Lord! In faith... I choose to see that any potential calamity... does not mean rejection... or failure... In You... through You... there is overwhelming victory... on the other side... of whatever trouble... we may face now...
