He Honors our Faith

Jesus will never leave or forsake me. It’s what I know, deep down. Sometimes, the events of this world pull at me. And resultantly, I have less clear an image of Jesus with me, watching over me, and leading me. I fight to keep my sense of Him as near, as if before my eyes. I am richly blessed to know Him. And I want no enjoyments of earth to make my sense of Him and His goodness less crystal. I need faith.

My mind can also sometimes ache with anxieties. I ask Jesus for His comfort. He gives it. And I remember to put my faith, all my confidence of faith, in Him. How my mind is relieved at the exercise of faith! How near He is to my enlivened senses! How He honors faith! Never can we be disappointed by putting our faith completely in Jesus. He works through our faith. And many gifts come to us when we exercise it. How many saints of old have known this, lived by faith in the Master? And we can know it too.
