Abiding Faith: As a believer matures in their faith, they learn to recognize their spiritual gifts and start using them in the opportunities the Lord sends their way. They no longer need to end their conversations with “call me if you need me” or “let me know if you need some help”. Instead, they call and say, “Tell me what you need” and “I would like to help” and “Here’s what I can do”. They can do it without fear or reservation because they know that their resources are refilled by the well-spring of God’s provision and their strength is renewed by the Holy Spirit.
