Your new birth began with a confession of faith and in faith. You believed! You believed in that very moment that Jesus paid the price and made a way back to God. Contrary to tangible evidence you believed in someone you couldn't see, who did something you did not witness. This was credited to you as righteousness and you became totally NEW. So what's the deal now? Are you stuck? Did your faith stall at some point?
Maybe no one ever told you that the way you started this journey is supposed to be the way you continue it. There is no condemnation, there have been too few good teachers, mentors, spiritual mothers or fathers to help us take our first steps in the faith.
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him [Hebrews 11:6]
Does that mean you blew it? Absolutely not! But it does mean that the invitation remains - to continue on this journey, to become a son/daughter, to grow into maturity and experience more of the tangible presence of God, and be fathered by him with a greater revelation of who he is and who you are meant to become.
I want to encourage you to believe again - to know and believe in God's sure promises. Because you are His. It's not too late, You're not too old or too far away today.
Proverbs 23:7 in the Bible says "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he" or to quote Qui-Gon Jinn in Star Wars - The Phantom Menace movie - "Always remember, your focus determines your reality".
Hey, good news, we can refocus on reality - reality exists. God's word is still reality, despite the broad path of the world proclaiming the contrary.
In the same way, we began, we can continue - by believing the very word of God, by believing God. Start where you left off and he will meet you there.
