Do you believe without a shadow of a doubt that you are redeemed?
If you do, then reach out and give away the hope you have within you. There are people who need you and your hope.
Don't let anyone take away your hope, your beliefs, or relationship with the one who saved you.
Freely receive, freely give. Stand fast and reach out to the highways and the byways and bring them all in!
God Bless
Launch out in reckless belief that the redemption is complete, and then bother no more about yourself, but begin to do as Jesus Christ said—pray for the friend who comes to you at midnight, pray for the saints, pray for all people.
Pray on the realization that you are only perfect in Christ Jesus, not on this plea—“O Lord, I have done my best, please hear me.” So many of us limit our praying because we are not reckless in our confidence in God. In the eyes of those who do not know God, it is madness to trust Him, but when we pray in the Holy Spirit we begin to realize the resources of God, that He is our perfect heavenly Father, and we are His children.
Reflection Question: What would “reckless belief” cause me to do today?
