Partners in Hope

We should not be discouraged when we feel the need for approval, instead we should look to the One who sees all things and tell Him what is going on within us. God will comfort and strengthen us in our time of need, and we will grow stronger in the knowledge of His ways if we do not give up.

Allowing ourselves to grieve over the events we have participated in, is part of the healing process.

God’s ways are different from our former ways and from the ways of society in general, but with patient endurance and the Power that is greater that ourselves to help us, we can learn to live in ways that please God.

Can we hope to experience true intimacy with God?  When we talk about intimacy we are usually referring to a close, familiar, protective, loving relationship between two persons. Is this possible for ordinary people like us to have with the amazing creator of the universe?

We hear from others that God “could and would help us if He were sought.”  We're often not so sure about God and His desire to help.  We're just broken and desperate and know we can't manage on our own.  We are just searching for something that actually works.

What do we need to consider in how we are acting and holding attitudes towards others so we can do our part to build loving relationships today?
