Whispers of His Power – NOVEMBER 5

1 John 2.28:  And now, little children, abide in Him;  that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.

Could there be anything more joyful than to see Him and not be ashamed?  Some of us find it difficult to believe that this can ever be.  It could never be if it were not that when He forgives, He forgives wholly.

It is written that the sea shall give up the dead which are in it (Rev. 20.13), but it is never written that the sea shall give up the sins that were cast into its depths.  Let the troubled heart rest on Micah 7.19 and Isaiah 44.22 and

1 John 1.9 and many another Scripture, and then there will be courage to believe that even we, by His grace, shall have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.

oooOOOooo
