Hope In A Hopeless World


All glory to God, who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.  Ephesians 3:20

I recently came across some notes I had written down during a sermon I heard at Cokesbury several months ago.  The message was a profound statement about how Jesus didn't discriminate between the people He loved and offered His grace and mercy to. 

The same holds true for us as believers.  We are to all offer this world hope, one person at a time, loving them into a relationship with Christ, regardless of what shape or situation a person is in.

When faced with our own struggles, we sometimes fail to put enough hope into God, expecting too little from Him.  Just pick up your Bible and read Scripture, and you can rest assured that God never lies to us.  He is incapable of doing bad or breaking His promises to us.  Knowing that and all of the amazing things He has done for each of us in the past, why would anyone have any reason to believe that God would let us down now?

God wants to bless us more abundantly than any of us can possible imagine, so put your faith, trust, and hope in the sovereign Lord of the universe!
