I believe that my faith is a gift that comes from God. I take no credit for it. It’s all Him. I didn’t conjure it up, per se. Instead, I believe God breathed it upon my life. I cannot resist His grace. Instead, He calls me to seek more of it once I recognize it being at work in my life.
For the Apostle Paul, it was painful to experience others’ unbelief when he knew the goodness of God firsthand. He cried out in Romans 9, for instance, for his people from Israel. When you experience God and know Him firsthand, you want for others to experience what you know to be good and true. Love compels you to share boldly and lovingly with others about the love, power, and salvation you’ve discovered is for them as well.
Some receive it, and others do not. That’s just the way it is.
What remains the same is the love of God. That’s what’s real. That’s the free gift.
FREE gift.
Live the life.
