“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[i] have been called according to his purpose.”
Romans 8:28 NIV
Why should we have hope?
Because the God of the universe, our Creator, loves us and He wants good things for us
How do we know?
Because He sent His Son as a sacrifice to do for us that which we cannot do on our own…save us from our sinful ways
From the greatest tragedy, Jesus Christ death on the Cross, God brought about the greatest triumph, the resurrection of our Savior
No matter what has happened, no matter where you are…whatever you have done or left undone…there is hope because of God’s love for you and because He wants good things for you
Turn towards the Lord and bring everything to him
“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”

Father God, nothing is impossible for You
You love me even when I am unlovable
You are good to me even when I do not deserve it
You are kind and compassionate toward me even when I mess up
You provide the example of what faithful love looks like
Thank You for never leaving or abandoning me
Today, remind me of the ways You have provided for me in my life so that way I can intentionally praise You and Your goodness
In Jesus name, Amen
“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all.

Galatians 6:7-10 NIV
“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”
