Words Of Assurance

God has spoken to me through the years to lead me to more and more assurance. The first thought that touched me was "My grace is sufficient for thee, for My strength has been made perfect in weakness." Truly grace is found as we walk in God's will. We can be in the middle as "In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." Truly as we give thanks we find ourselves walking with God. The second thought came as I realized I was double minded and unstable in all my ways. I had found myself trusting in my salvation experience and my poetry to prove my salvation. God showed me that I couldn't trust in this. but to simply Trust God. I simply remind myself to Trust Christ alone. The next thought of assurance came as a small voice said, "John I love you no matter what and I will worship God no matter what." This has been a blessed thought to ponder. My last thought of assurance after I was having a feeling of condemnation. God allowed me simply think of Jesus' Words as the Cross, "It is finished." Truly I can trust these words no matter what I am feeling. Truly looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the Cross, despising the shame and is set down at the right hand of God the Father.
