Ephesians 2:8
New International Version (NIV)
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God
I have been struggling with all of the disappointing and heartbreaking news about the Ethiopian program almost coming to a stand still. Thinking that we might never get to meet our third CHILD! I have wondered if we were on the right path? Is this what God is asking? Maybe we heard him wrong. I had almost lost hope ! All most lost FAITH.
I was listening to a sermon series online this morning that truly brought me to my knees. The verse in Ephesians that says by FAITH you have been saved, not by your work, not by yourself. By FAITH! Faith got us hear, by believing that this is what God wants for us! FAITH is what saves us !! How could I possibly give up on what Jesus gave us!! Jesus who was sinless took all of our sin so that by FAITH we could be saved!!
So by the grace of God and FAITH alone I am standing in front of this mountain until it moves! I will not give up hope or FAITH because I know that our little Ethiopian child needs us to !! That is what
we have been called to do, by Faith!!
