10/13/2021 I hope… What does it means to hope? Is hoping the same as a wish or a dream. NO! Unlike a wish or a dream hope is based in something or someone. For Christians hope is based on the love of God who promised to protect and keep them. For others hope can be based on the order God as Creator built into creation. Hope has a strong base lacking in a wish or a dream.

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

Grace must have an input and an output. To be saved we must open our input to receive God’s grace that fulfills the law and God’s forgiveness. But to be saved also requires us to output grace to others. There is a hymn called “Pass it on” which reminds us grace is to be shared if we are to continue receiving 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.
