“We do not have to discover in which of several people Christ is to be found; we must look for him in them all. And not in an experimental spirit, to discover whether he is in them . . . but with the absolute certainty that he is. . . . Christ does not choose to be known through outward appearances—even the appearance of virtue” (Caryll Houslander, The Reed of God).
Faith is a gift from God, and I have ti ask for it and protect it. I should never be amazed when I falter, but I should amaze myselves if I don’t ask for help when I fall.
Lord, today by your grace I will set a timer on my phone to ring every hour for the next nine hours, and I will pray “Jesus, increase my faith” each time the alarm rings.
“Lord, help my unbelief!”
