Now faith is…

the assurance of things hoped for the conviction of things not seen. He 11:1

She was worn down, loosing hope fast. Another hard day facing the
harsh boss who lorded authority over her…with a bible in hand.
Threats of being sent "back where you came from" loomed large. She
knew real poverty. She had lost everything. Widowed and alone, she
hoped this would be a place to start over. Today she was sure it was
time to go. But where? And how? She had nothing other than her
meager possessions held by one small closet. New friends had come and
given her strength. They helped her taste real love and it gave her
courage. Courage to stand against legalism. Strength to believe her
God will provide for her. As she prayed God opened another door of
hope. Today she is taking steps of faith into the unknown…with
conviction of things not seen. Our precious widowed friend is assured
of one thing! Her God is good and in control.
