From Luke 17:5-6:  “The apostles said to the Lord, ‘Increase our faith!’  The Lord replied, ‘If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.'”

Remaining at life’s station

Waiting, always watching

Living with righteousness

Faith’s vision of salvation

 

Trusting in hope’s fortitude

Adopting God’s patience

Committing to His ways

Faith in Him shall be renewed

 

Believing in Savior’s grace

Facing life’s rising tides

Revealing light to come

Faith rekindled to embrace

 

Repenting of sinful ways

Floundering no longer

Accepting forgiveness

Faith powering up each day

 

Pulsating heart filled with joy

Hearing God’s truthful voice

Witnessing through Christ’s love

Faith gathers peace to deploy

The burden God places on each of us is to become who we are meant to be.  We are most fully ourselves when Christ most fully lives in us and through us.

From 1 John 2:5-6:  “Whoever obeys His word, truly in this person the love of God has reached perfection.  By this we know that we are in Him:  whoever says, ‘I abide in Him,’ ought to walk in the same way as He walked.”

Andrew Peterson (born 1974) is an American Christian singer-songwriter and author.

For we love not God first, to compel Him to love again; but He loved us first, and gave His Son for us, that we might see love and love again.

From 1 John 4:9-10:  “God’s love was revealed among us in this way:  God sent His only Son into the world so that we might live through Him.  In this is love, not that we loved God but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

William Tyndale (c. 1494 – c.1536) was an English Biblical scholar and linguist.  He became a leading figure in the Protestant Reformation, and his writings were influenced by the thoughts shared from fellow reformer Martin Luther.

Ask God.  Trust God.  We are completely dependent on Him for eternal life, for forgiveness, for character, for security.

From Hebrews 6:19-20:  “We have this hope, a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters the inner shrine behind the curtain, where Jesus, a forerunner on our behalf, has entered, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.”

Charles Swindoll (born 1934) is an American pastor and Christian author.

Each sister, each brother

Walking with Christ, our Lord

Supporting one another

With grace, arriving on board

 

Faith immersed in Christ’s Word

Trusting always His light

Revealing peace to be heard

Enemy’s darkness takes flight

 

Christ, faith’s firm foundation

Transforming every stone

Building path to salvation

Filled with hope, never alone

 

Believers marching on

Following in Christ’s steps

Witnessing Heaven’s fate drawn

Mercy knocks at each doorstep

 

Each sister, each brother

Sharing Christ’s Living Bread

Accepting one another

Called to serve with truth now fed

Peace is not the absence of trouble, but the presence of Christ.

Words which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness.

From John 8:12:  “Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.'”
