2nd Peter 1:7-10: " ... and to godliness add mercy toward your brothers and sisters, and to mercy toward others add unending love. Since these virtues are already planted deep within, and you possess them in an abundant supply, they will keep you from being inactive or fruitless in your pursuit of knowing Jesus Christ more intimately. But if anyone lacks these things, he is blind, constantly closing his eyes to the mysteries of our faith, and forgetting his innocence--for his past sins have been washed away. For this reason, beloved ones, be eager to confirm and validate that God has invited you to salvation and claimed you as His own. If you do these things,you will never stumble.
Validate
Planted deep. Abundant supply. Not often considered from that perspective.
We rarely understand that for ourselves and forget that all He gives to us is to be passed on to others as well. Our given mercy and love and courage is to share and pray too.
Instead we still let doubts and fears react and not always understand the innocence He has gifted inside us. And all the dark paths that linger can be removed.
Lord, please guide us to see through Your vision and then to pray and act when and where You send us always. May any work that is not from You be dissolved and only the work Your Spirit directs us to go forward. With Your abundant supply we can follow Your words and directions and not stumble.
Your thoughts,
