Hiddenness Keeps Our Focus on God of by Robert Ricciardelli

Hiddenness is important because it keeps our focus on God. In hiddenness we do not seek to be admired by man, but seek to please the Father, and go to Him in joy or sorrow knowing that He gives us what we need most. In society there is an inclination to avoid hiddenness while seeking to become visible and popular. We can lose touch with God in our dependence on people, and our true identity can only be found in Him.

Hidden in the God of Every Moment by Robert Ricciardelli

Hiddenness is essential in our life with God. Solitude, prayer, loving others, ordinary tasks, working, and living in unspectacular ways is the life that Jesus mostly lived and asks of us to live also. It is often in hiddenness that we grow in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and man, while finding true intimacy with God and His love for others. We must take time to be still and know He is the God of every moment.

Fruit That Remains by Robert Ricciardelli

We live in a generation that wants to see the results of our work. The way of the Kingdom does not always bring forth immediate fruit, but will produce fruit that remains. We must trust that our lives will be fruitful by seeking first the Kingdom and God's nature. The fruit of our lives may be visible only to those who live after us. What is important is how well we love. God makes love fruitful, whether we see that fruitfulness or not.

See God Potential In Others by Robert Ricciardelli

We must regard people less in light of what they do, and more in the light of who they are. We must also look at them for what they may become rather than where they currently are in their journey. Look at them the way God looks at them, with tremendous potential in Him to manifest themselves one day as sons and daughters of God. God is omnipotent and we can believe for His potential to radically change their lives.

Release, Refresh, and Renew in God by Robert Ricciardelli

Love those that love you and tap into God's love for those who don't, and for those who have caused you pain. The Lord will not waste one moment or experience in your life, if you will give them to Him. He is faithful, and He will work all things for good while making you stronger because of what you have gone through with Him. Release, refresh, and renew daily in the goodness of your God.
