Confident hope

I was challenged by a brother today, to believe God's word. Not to just know it and to acknowledge it intellectually, but to believe it with confidence. Instead of, "I believe God..." to have an attitude of, "I believe God!". To believe that God will grow the relationship with the woman I love, to grant us patience, humility and true love.

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the men of old gained approval. (Hebrews 11:1-2)
