Hope is a beautiful thing. Hope is precious - because it gives us a reason to continue waking up each day and facing whatever it brings. A reason to love, a reason to hold on, and a reason to speak up and speak out.

Hope is what sets us apart here from those surrounding us. Because our hope is based on ASSURANCE - That by calling upon His name, we are saved. It is really that simple. Believe. And enter into that beautiful relationship that gives the only real hope. My neighbors, coworkers, and so many friends... they don't have the light in their eyes or the joy in their hearts and it is because they are working and working and working... and not. getting. anywhere.

Step. Step. Step. Step. Fall... Start over. From the bottom. Attain it all because you can't possibly accept anything as a gift. It must all be earned. It must all be because of your own merit and good works. Work harder! You aren't working hard enough... Are you there YET? No? Do it again. And again. And again. And tomorrow, you still won't be any closer because you will fall again and you still won't know when you sleep where you will end up...

Pray with us this week please, as we share Hope. And Truth. And LOVE. The only One who can save is might to do so. Pray, my friends.
