Confident and Unashamed

And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming. (1 Jn 2:28)

I picture myself standing before him on that day, and that’s how I want to be: confident and unashamed. Confident to stand because the blood of Jesus Christ has covered all my sins, and unashamed because I have been faithful to him. To continue in him is to remain in him, abide in him, walk with him and obey him. Lord, help me to live my life in you.
