1 Corinthians 1:7-9

so that you do not lack any spiritual gift as you wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.  He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.  God is faithful, by whom you were called into fellowship with his son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Enriched in Christ Jesus, we lack nothing. While we expectantly await Jesus' return, we are to live led by the Holy Spirit. As we step forward in life, God strengthens us and "keeps us firm to the end". Our Lord holds onto us with unrivaled tenacity, and His grace is always enough for whatever our situation. By His grip or by His grace, the result is that "nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord". (Romans 8:38-39 - NIV) From this place of assurance, live courageously and boldly. Let your light shine before others. (Matthew 5:16)
