Now this is how we shall know that we belong to the truth and reassure our hearts before him in whatever our hearts condemn, for God is greater than our hearts and knows everything. Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence in God and receive from him whatever we ask, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him.
1 John 3:19-22
When we serve, our hearts are reassured of God’s love for us and because our hearts are reassured of God’s love for us, we have greater confidence before God. People who serve God and his kingdom have the greatest confidence that God is with them and for them.
Every one of the people described in the Scriptures as having a close relationship with God, worked to build his kingdom. They worked to serve his purposes. As they freely served God’s purpose and worked towards the better future God was creating, they grew in their intimacy with God.
Pray today to have greater confidence in God. Ask God that as you serve others your confidence and trust in him will grow as well.
