Confidence

During Easter weeks I'm reminded that Jesus died at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. That time is holy to us because Scriptures says that at that hour He gave Himself up for us. He died, taking on each of our sins so that His mark of salvation upon our hearts will be our Light to show us His Way to live a great confident life.

I set my phone clock to alarm at 3 o'clock each day-- I invite you to do this and we'll pause to thank Christ. As you and I start this special hour with thanks and praise then our hearts and minds open further to His great and abundant love for each of us. Then we're to focus on the strengths which He has put into us. List the things that you do well. In this manner you gain confidence in your blessings.

Remember that Christ is not through blessing you yet! Your example for Christ in your family and community show the blessings and strengths He has instilled within you. We use this time of confidence-building in our words and actions-- what we do well goes outward. By confidently using our strengths we show thanks to Him for His blessings within us.

At 3 o'clock, together we unite in His love and are uplifted by Holy Spirit's Power. And when other Christians join with you, supportively confident, you'll view His blessings multiplied right before you!

... the only thing that counts is faith working through love. Galatians 5:6
