10/1/2021 We may think we can manufacture hope but it is as limited as when we manufacture our own god. Our hope will crumble as we crumble since it is limited by our strength. God is the source of all hope so hope in God or in His Creation.

This is an entry from my Hope Journal which helps me have hope, beyond hope.

Sin is so destructive we are told there will be a new heaven and a new earth. All of creation has been tarnished and corrupted by sin. We can blame God but that only cuts us off from any help we can get. Grace is seen as we realize God loves us in spite of our rejecting Him twice (in the fall and on the cross). Jesus screamed in agony when our sin was placed upon Him and for the first time Jesus was cut off from His Father. That is the measure of both our need for grace and the power of grace.

From my Grace Journal. It was suggested to start a Grace Journal as a reminder of our need not for agreement but grace to guide our relationships.
