About living with conviction…

Ephesians 6:11 . Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. (NIV)

Every minute you are alive you live in the infinite love of God. In spite of all the hardships, all the heartbreaks, and all the pain and suffering of your life, God calls you every hour to live in conviction rather than letting things slide. Letting things slide in life is easy. Seeing wrong and not doing anything about the wrong is easy. Giving in to temptation is easy. Doing sinful things and think sinful thoughts is easy. However, when you live in God’s love, He calls you to live with conviction by standing firm and being steadfast no matter what you must face in life. When times get tough and you feel weak, you must listen more intently than ever to His voice calling you to be holy, righteous, and strong. God calls you to be His child because He knows you and He loves you. God knows you have the power to live with conviction and be holy because He knows you can hear Him speak. He also knows you want to be His child. God knows you have the power to live with conviction and be righteous when you feel weak because you pray and seek His wisdom and power to resist temptation. God knows you have the power to live with conviction and be strong because He is with you on every step of your journey. God knows you and He loves you as He calls you to live with conviction.
