116 | What about MY HOPE now?


Boy! It’s hard to hope!  The challenges of the present age overwhelm us, and we worry, we fear, we become discouraged and defeated.  As Christians, we grasp onto the cosmic hope of Christ and struggle to make it our own. Hope itself is a contradiction, a stance in the midst of uncertainty, and a refusal to avoid the tension of being human. 

We strive to do what Abraham did, trusting “against all hope, but still in hope.”

Romans 4:18

Friends, hope is always with us, always around the corner. Let’s encourage one another in hope.
