Today I need hope. There are just days like that when the temptation to rely on my own strength and ideas overrides my best judgement and I learn yet again that I am not God.
But no matter whether it is fear or frustration or jealousy or any other of the common human stumbling block, there is only one answer. God.
Fortunately, God is utterly faithful even when I am not. God is love, even when I am struggling to love. God is all powerful when I am painfully aware of the limits of my own capacity to make things go my way and less grateful for that than I am on saner days.
So today I am so grateful that God sent this verse to remind me of God's limitless love and patience with me and I send this reminder to you today in case something is disturbing your peace:
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13
O Spirit of God, thank you at all times and in all places and through all circumstances. AMEN
