Devotions to Calm the Chaosಮಾದರಿ

Blessed Equation

Notice the keywords in this scripture: love, grace, encouragement, and hope. They cover the pattern of God’s work in our lives. Through His love, God gives us the grace we need to overcome our sinful human nature. When God reminds us of that grace, He encourages us in ways the world cannot understand. When we’re encouraged, we can see the light at the end of our struggle—the hope we have in Christ. Hope is the response we express that captures the attention of the world we live in. People are longing for hope, and we are part of the plan God created to reach them with that hope. That plan starts with His love and His character and ends with hope, His promise that everything will work out for the best—regardless of what happens in the meantime.
