I was reading Hayley Lewis' blog from the biggest loser website, dont ask me why because i also dont know why did i do that but i found something interesting towards the end of the blog. She said something along regretting not having the confidence in herself that she will be victorious oneday in her sporting career which cause her lots of stress in life. You can look it up in the website. I was reminded of the book of colossians when i read that ending part where it talks about having confidence about receiving future glory in Christ (not in myself knowing that im not capable of doing that). Future glory = victory of receiving salvation in Jesus.
Knowing that I can be sure with the hope i hold on to now is the greatest feeling ever. I used to hope that I would get great UAI but i didnt. I used to hope that i would never have friends that would ever dissapoint me again and im wrong. I always hope that i would use my time wisely in my days off and again it hasnt been happening the way i hope it would. Im tired of feeling sad because I dont get what i hope i would and its a constant sadness because i will never be sure whether i would ever get what i hope i would!
In this cylcle of unending sadness and dissapointment, God gives me certainty! Certainty that he will wipe away every tears later on when Jesus comes back for the second time (Isaiah 25:8-9). Certainty that I will oneday be with God in heaven because of what Jesus had done for me on the cross (Colossians 1:21-23).
My confident relies on Jesus and not anyone else including myself! It is so because Jesus had done everything that needs to be done on the cross, so that left me with nothing else to do apart from living under his rule and authority. I am complete in Christ and he is all I need (Colossians 2:9-10).
Are you confident with the hope you hold onto now?? I do hope that you can confidently say "I am 100% sure with the hope i have!"
