"A Living Hope"

SCRIPTURE:

"Blessed be God who according to His abundant mercy has begotten
us again to a living hope". (1 Peter 1:3)

REFLECTION:

You know life can be hard for everybody, there is no exceptions. It does
seem that life is harder on some people rather than others. But to all of
us, it can be a very difficult time. And just because I have accepted
Jesus Christ in my life, which is an important thing, it doesn't
change the fact that life can be hard. Its hard for Christians and non
Christians.
I've done many things in my past that I'm not proud of. I've cheated, lied,
stole, broken the law, and in my youth, I did some immoral things. Things
I'm ashamed of, that have caused wounds that still have not healed. It's
difficult sometimes to cope with all of that. Do you know how I can cope with the past?
I can cope with the past because, through my relationship with Jesus Christ, I
have hope for the future. I am living hope in Christ, therefore I can deal with the
past, because of my future. Because of my love for Jesus Christ, I am a
forgivin person. His death and resurrection has givin that to me. And
eternal life, with my savior, is my hope for the future. So give your life
to Christ, and your past is forgivin and what a glorious future is in store
for you.

PRAYER:

Thank you God for Your forgiveness, I could not go on without it.
"Lord give me the grace to trust You when life's burdens seem to
much to bear; Dispel the darkness with new hope and help me
rise above despair". (Sper). THANK YOU GOD FOR BEING GOD
In Jesus Name Amen.
