Discipleship may cost us, and we should know this before we declare ourselves His disciples. God is as generous to new believers as He is to life-long believers. The one who we despise may possess more faith, compassion, and generosity than we do. God rewards persistence in prayer; at the right time, He will answer. Because God forgives us, we must forgive others. God will not fail to notice if even one of us strays from faith in Him; and He will look for us. Firm faith in God will carry us through life's troubles and difficulties. Some who receive God's word believe; others reject the gift of faith. We are to fully use whatever gifts God gives us and not let them lie dormant.
