Dear Community!
While working on the SteemChurch Telos expansion, I thank all the people who show great interest and request information to be part of SteemChurch Telos Village.
It only remains to have a little patience and keep working...
Speaking of patience or waiting, which means the same thing

For me, the trust has always been to live by faith and not by sight. Every time God opens a door on something that I was praying, even with a cold in the belly or natural circumstances not looking favorable, I trusted in God taking a step of faith to live that stranger.
The truth, brave, intense ... I have always liked to define myself with those words, once I heard them from God himself. I like intentionality in things, and I believe that the Christian life is 100% intentional. Either you are hot or cold, and you can not serve two masters. The Bible itself is intentional. But behold, this week I hear another thing that God movement also shows no value.
About three weeks ago I prayed about something specific in my life, I asked for some directions and opportunities for God, and finally some things have happened and some doors are being opened, doors that really seem to be part of God's purpose. But the natural issues seemed not to be helping me much and it seemed in fact not to be the best time to live those opportunities. That was leaving me in crisis, because my natural attitude was always to grab that and enter with courage, because I thought that "shrunken horse does not happen twice" and that if I lost the opportunity I might not have it again. So basically, for me, courage was to move and not stop. Now, how could I not do anything about this?
It was then that God told me "not to move also shows courage, because it shows that you trust what I said about you and that, if that seemingly perfect opportunity happens, you will continue to trust in my goodness and in the truth that no one can steal it. I have for you, so if I was faithful to open that door now, I will also be faithful to open a new future.
Wow! I love how Jesus always elevates the pattern.
While He lived on earth, He elevated the pattern of things by showing that if it was previously sinful to commit adultery, now if you just think about your neighbor's wife you would already be adulterating in your heart. If before it was a sin to kill, now if you spoke ill of your brother you would already be sinning against him. And there goes. Jesus raised the pattern of law for grace, for none of those things would be possible through self-effort.
Now there was Jesus, once again, raising my pattern. If before me it was courage to move, now He was teaching me that courage is often also waiting. And waiting in itself is also an action, because it increasingly involves a new level of trust in God the Father, knowing that in all things He works on our behalf.
Today, I just want to remind you that God is not defined by his sight, He is defined by Himself and can not deny Himself. If He said, He fulfills. Even if you do not see something, continue to be guided by the truth that He is good and faithful.
