'For as he thinks in his heart, so is he." Proverbs 23:7 NKJV
The Archbishop of Canterbury was acquainted with an actor names Mr. Butterton. One day he asked Butterton, "What is the reason you actors on stage can affect your congregation with the speaking of things imaginary, as if they were real, while we in church speak of things real, which our congregation only receive as if they were imaginary?" Butterton replied, "We actors on stage speak of things imaginary as if they were real, and you in the pulpit speak of things real as if they were imaginary." The world needs Christians who speak like they believe what God said in His Word is true, and who live accordingly. When Abraham was eighty, God promised him he would father a son. Twenty years later, it hadn't happened, but Abraham was standing firmly on God's Word: "He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform" (vv. 20-21 NKJV). William James, the first educator to offer a course in psychology, said, "If you want a quality, act as if you already had it." He also said, "Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does." Saint Augustine said, "God loves each of us as if there were only one of us." If you fully grasp the truth of this, it'll set you free from fear because that's what God's perfect love does (see 1Jn 4:18). God can't love you any more or any less because He already loves you unconditionally, eternally. you just need to live like His beloved.
