Faith, Hope and Love are so bound together that the
exercise of any one activates the others. As is the Holy Trinity, they are
distinct in practice, but in fact, are three in one. Like facets of a diamond,
even the slightest turn toward one releases the resplendent beauty of all. If
you truly believe, then love will abound. When love abounds hope is raised. When
hope rises, faith is released. What a glorious trinity of tools in our hands
provided by God for knowing Him and doing His will. Blessed Trinity, Your
mysteries are beyond earthly comprehension, yet may be practiced by a child. I
stand amazed.
A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.
