We have the promises from God. We should exercise faith and patience and claim these promises for ourselves! Confidence is the possession of all whose inner and outer lives have been changed by Christ so that their lifestyle reaches out to their brothers and sisters. This great confidence is doubly insured by a heart that is so graced that it works, persevering in sure hope to the end in imitation of the faith and patience of those who have gone before.</p> <p> </p>
