Partners in Hope

We need God’s help to identify our shortcomings and the infilling of the Holy Spirit to give us the will and the power to remove them.

Jesus came into the world as a light so that those who believe in Him will not stay in darkness.

When we say we have given our will and life over to the care of God, what does that mean to us? It means that in every situation we may encounter we have decided that we will obey the principles God has established for the guidance of our behaviour.

What is true that underlines all we are as we face this day?  We all wake up to some kind of mindset and almost without thinking, we think about various things and filter news and events around us through our mindset. What's my foundational mindset?

Sometimes we are bored and restless because the things we are interested in or engaged in were never meant to be satisfying and attention holding. They are a bit empty.  Our boredom is calling us to put our attention to things that are better.

There’s so much beauty and goodness to see if we just take the time and opportunity to see it. Isn’t that often the way we are in life as well?  We easily see the beautiful things that are before us or that we intentionally seek out.  On days when life is going well it’s not hard to find things to be grateful for and let our hearts embrace a smile. But then the tough days come and the challenges pile up around us and inside us. Then what do we see?
