All You Need is Love Daily Devotional -51

All You Need is Love Daily Devotional -51

HEBREWS 11:1 | 1Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

If faith is the conviction of things not seen, what happens when faith becomes sight? How can faith still abide in heaven?

Well faith has different dimensions. It is a form of trust and when we live fully in God’s presence our trust in Him will grow. So will our ability to receive the good things He wants to give us, including knowledge, joy, and peace. Faith sustains us now in the midst of doubt, criticism, emotional ups and downs, and outright suffering. It is good to know it will abide, at that time, and in that place, where tears of sorrow do not flow and battles with evil are no more, where doubt flees and fear has no purpose.

How would you characterize your faith right now?
