12/8/2021 Some days I wonder what hope means, but when all comes crashing in and dark just seems to get darker I really know what hope is. Hope is what I am missing, what I need and what I crave. Not in the sense of wanting something to go away or not have to face something but in the sense I have hope I am not alone and with help I can make it. The strength of your hope is found in the strength of the one you place your hope in.

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

Grace is unmerited favor and something we are not deserving of. Grace is much more than a gift if for no other reason than the “price” would be God giving His purity to take on our sin, giving His only begotten Son for a rebellious people who spat in the face of God (literally) and in what is beyond our even comprehending can we comprehend allowing the Son of God to die! How is this possible? How can One of the Trinity die without the Trinity dying? Grace is unmerited and incomprehensible but can be celebrated and received.

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.
