Peter 1:8,9


1 Peter 1:8,9

I really like this text.  It says that despite not having seen Jesus for ourselves, we still love Him.  It is because we believe in Him with such large amounts of joy and glory that we can be assured of the end result of our faith.  The salvation of our souls.

I know firsthand two things.  First, that being in close communion with God by reading the Bible and trusting Him does bring about incredible peace, energy, and a positive outlook on life.  Only when I have deviated from that relationship have I felt despair and depression.  Second, that life isn't easy just because I am a follower of Jesus.  Things can still be tough.  However I can't imagine facing those hard times without my Jesus helping me be a better person and providing for me.
