Welcome to Wisdom Word Wednesday!! I pray that your week is going good so far. If not, don't fret because God will give you all the strength needed to endure the rest of the week. For Wisdom Word Wednesday, the word is persuaded.
We must be wise to be persuaded just like Paul according to Romans 8:38, "For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,". In my opinion, Paul didn't have to be persuaded about anything separating him from God's love by what he saw; Because Paul knew and trusted in God. He was more persuaded by the unseen through his eyes of faith. Persuaded also means to be confident.
When going through hardships, you must acquire (or even beforehand develop) an inward certainty. You must not lean on your own certainties and understanding of things. You must, however, "Lean on, trust in, and be confident (be persuaded) in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths," Proverbs 3:5-6 gnt (emphasis added mine).
Keeping this scripture in the midst of your heart, will help reassure you that nothing can, no matter how much the devil tries, separate your love from God. Because,"in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us," (Romans 8:37). Not only that, when others begin to see how much you love and trust God wholeheartedly, whether during the good or the bad, they, too, will be fully persuaded in God's love for them.
Furthermore, your life living will be more than enough persuasion to show how awesome, great, and merciful our God is in the name of Jesus.
