11/24/2021 Just as joy is so much more than happiness hope is so much more than a wish. A wish and happiness have a short life and are not dependable while joy and hope not only continue in bad times but can actually strengthen you in them.

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

Grace is so much more than mercy. Mercy is forgiving someone who hurt you but grace is paying for what they did so they can be declared not guilty. God did this for us as Jesus died on the cross paying for our sins.

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.
