You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him, you trust him; and even now you are happy with a glorious, inexpressible joy.
1 Peter 1:8
Odds are you are visiting this blog today because you love Jesus. He is a man you have only ever seen portrayed in pictures and movies, or read about in books but still you believe in Him. You trust that He is real. Jesus is the son of God who died to take away our sins. Your belief pushes you pray to him everyday and you trust Him to answer those prayers. Just like this scripture, you are happy with an inexpressible joy when you think of Jesus and His place in your life is a glorious thing.
Thoughts of Jesus flood my mind on days when my faith is strong and I am confident in my circumstances. He just makes me smile. As you face this day ahead of you and things begin to look rocky, before you get to that place causing fear and anxiety or depression and anger think of the friend you have in Jesus. Picture Him sitting by your side. The man you put your trust in. The friend who brings you joy and peace. Invite Him to calm your anxious heart, and never forget the glorious feeling He brings you. Never forget how happy you are when things are good so when things get bad He won't feel too far away.
Yes this beautiful Son of God who loves you with an unexplainable, unconditional love is with you always! His presence is so powerful that you believe without seeing! Today don't let your circumstances drown out your joyous thoughts of Him. And absolutely do not forget this Man whom you trust so faithfully to take care of your every need.
