The title for the blog comes from a phrase I picked up from our reading of The Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan Manning. Those two words have been following me around for the last several days. I cannot escape that phrase - unshakable confidence - and everything it implies. To have a confidence that cannot be shaken requires a great deal of trust and belief. Unshakable implies that this confidence is unwavering, unchanging, unswerving, unflinching, immovable, and steadfast. All of these words seem impossible until we consider that our confidence comes from one whose love for us was/is all of those things.
Manning also shared this quote from Marjorie Kemp, "More pleasing to me than all your prayers, sacrifices, and good works is that you would believe that I love you." And I would add to that simply this: Believing with unshakable confidence that God truly loves us will always call forth love in our lives. We have not fully received God's love if it does not grow in us a desire to share that love with others. Love calls forth love...always.
