6/28/2022 Hope is not a wish but a realistic belief good can and will come. The good should be based on our situation as the hope of a person living comfortably and the hope of a person living in sexual slavery will be different. Without hope fear and depression set in and can take over and our lives become a mere existence. For me this is a very real life experience of existence without hope and then living with hope. Hope is as essential as water, food, clothing, shelter and love. As a belief hope can be taken farther by becoming faith in God as revealed in Jesus Christ.
This is an entry from my Hope Journal which helps me hope, beyond hope.
(Hope fulfilled in that the cars have been repaired for about $900. A lot better than replacing an engine.)
Grace is not an extra in life but is essential and necessary to reach beyond existence to life. Without grace there are wars and rumors of wars at the personal up to the world levels. Grace does not work as a reaction but a learning to live our lives for the good of all and if we are a Christian to also glorify God.
From my Grace Journal to remind me of our need not for agreement but grace in our relationships.
