When we are surrounded by caring souls who are firmly planted in grace, mercy, and forgiveness, it is easier to believe in ourselves. Our outlook is more confident and brave, allowing courage to settle into our soul.
If you are fortunate to have these people in your life, thank them, and thank God for sending the face of Jesus to you in your time of need.
Now, you be the face of Jesus to someone today.
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6.
