4/23/2022 One of the themes of both my Hope and Grace journals is seeing the value and possibility of them in our lives even when it is very hard to see them nevertheless live them.

Over the last few weeks I have experienced a very bad time physically, emotionally and spiritually and hope and grace have been difficult to see and even harder to live. My struggle with guilt, fear, shame and pornography have almost overwhelmed me.

But angels surround even those who have no faith or have lost it as well as those for who faith is a hedge of protection. Look for these angels and cultivate their companionship for through them hope and grace can be transfused into your life.

For me this is a group of men I meet with on Wednesday who have been messengers of hope and grace.

There are two things I want to say to everyone who reads this:

First, find a group who help you hope in hope and show you grace and how to live it out.

Second, nourish and cultivate this group of messengers by sharing when they help and actively seeking to help them.

This is not only a combination of my Hope and Grace Journals but a desire you will discover messengers of hope and grace in your life.

THEY ARE NOT JUST GOOD AND HELPFUL BUT WE NEED THEM!
