Daily Devotion:
"When You believe"
John 1:12
New International Version
12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.
It’s easy to say that we believe in God, even at times, that our heart remains far from Him. That’s a factor of the human condition—not something to punish ourselves over. But it’s wise to be honest with ourselves and the Lord about where we are in Him. That’s the best way to move forward and fully experience His peace and joy.
Toward that end, it’s helpful to remember that the simple, basic elements of our faith are more than just simple and basic. They’re profound, transformational realities—not just good or correct thoughts we “believe in.” The walk of faith needn’t be more complicated than that, whether you’ve known Christ for two months or 20 years. Find a
healthy rhythm of doing things without worrying about how you’re performing. You’ll see how rich simple faith truly is.
