Belief

Today take God and believe. Believe that you are taken care of and that there is absolutely nothing for you to worry about. Believe that the Creator does all to take care of His children. Believe that God is never gone away from you no matter the circumstances of your life. I like to call it a "knowing." To know is more than just believe. To know is to be absolutely confident, to never doubt - to regard as true beyond doubt. Know that you are already accepted by your Creator. Know that Christ came to redeem all things to himself and if you believe and know this there is nothing for you to doubt.

God's readiness to give and forgive is now public. Salvation's available for everyone! We're being shown how to turn our backs on a godless, indulgent life, and how to take on a God-filled, God-honoring life. This new life is starting right now, and is whetting our appetites for the glorious day when our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, appears. He offered himself as a sacrifice to free us from a dark, rebellious life into this good, pure life, making us a people he can be proud of, energetic in goodness. Titus 2:13-14

When you can begin to know this - no never doubt it again - your life becomes God's and there is nothing that is out of your reach! Remember Jesus told us:

"If you can't believe that, believe what you see—these works. The person who trusts me will not only do what I'm doing but even greater things, because I, on my way to the Father, am giving you the same work to do that I've been doing. You can count on it." John 14:11

You have what you need to fulfill the dream that God has placed in you. That dream and inspiration that you have come to you every day, that voice that says "you were made for more than this" is God's voice letting you know that you have a purpose. God is there to fulfill it in you because your life is no longer yours, it is God's. Know this!

Christ's life showed me how, and enabled me to do it. I identified myself completely with him. Indeed, I have been crucified with Christ. My ego is no longer central. It is no longer important that I appear righteous before you or have your good opinion, and I am no longer driven to impress God. Christ lives in me. The life you see me living is not "mine," but it is lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I am not going to go back on that. Galatians 2:19-21

You do not have to strive, you only need to know and trust. Your ego is not important and you no longer need to impress anyone, even God. It is finished. Go and live your life confidently. Henry David Thoreau wrote this:

"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with success unexpected in common hours."

Advance confidently and live the life God has purposed you for! Know that God is there and will bring to pass what you need when you need it and not before or after you need it. Stop relying on others to tell you that you are good or ok. God has already said it, finished the work for you. Live your life knowing that it is all perfect and as it should be. This is faith and belief. Then we can do as the writer of Hebrews wrote:

So, friends, we can now—without hesitation—walk right up to God, into "the Holy Place." Jesus has cleared the way by the blood of his sacrifice, acting as our priest before God. The "curtain" into God's presence is his body.
So let's do it—full of belief, confident that we're presentable inside and out. Let's keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going. He always keeps his word. Let's see how inventive we can be in encouraging love and helping out, not avoiding worshiping together as some do but spurring each other on, especially as we see the big Day approaching. Hebrews 10:19-25
