Hope is putting faith to work when doubting would be easier.

If you understand your blessings
If you understand the enormity of the blessings you have received, you’ll also understand the magnitude of the battle you’re fighting.
Lord if it’s not your will
Lord, if it’s not your will, let it slip through my grasp and give me the peace not to worry about it. – Jony A Gaskins Jr.
Love the lonely
Hug the hurt, kiss the broken, befriend the lost, love the lonely.
Pray with guaranteed results
How do we pray so that we are guaranteed results?
We pray for the Lord’s will to be done. It’s that simple…and complex. So we leave aside those prayers for fame and fortune, ease and peace, and pray instead with our mind set on what the Lord wants for us. Does He want us to grow in love? Let us pray that we are given the opportunity to develop that fruit of the spirit. This may mean being unjustly persecuted by loved ones or strangers, this may mean admitting we’re wrong countless times, this may mean watching someone we love struggle, it may mean sacrificing time or money to those who may need it more than we. These are the things we not only accept when we pray to have the Lord develop love in us, these are the things we will cherish once He has accomplished His work in us.
When we pray with our mind and desire on God’s will for us, our prayers will be answered every time.
Fully known, and still…
Fully known, and still deeply loved.
