Partners in Hope

We need to discipline ourselves to rejoice in the encouragement that God’s word brings and embrace the unfailing love of God.

When sheep are under the care of the Good Shepherd they can lie down and know they are safe in His care.

Recovery is a process where, with God and trusted caring people, we begin to come alive …and start dealing with our darkest secrets.

We all appreciate a person who shows us solid and caring character – a person of strength and dignity.  I thought we could have a look at some character qualities that we can ask God to develop in us.

One week since Easter Sunday and so we pray: Work in us and through us today to help us become the persons You have created us to be – beloved citizens meant to bless You and be a blessing to others.  Teach us what all that means, Holy Spirit, and guide us in the ways of God, the great King of all Kings. 

It’s just a week since Good Friday and our remembering the great sacrifice Jesus made on our behalf.  A week is a long time in any news cycle.  Our world is full of many troubles and the death and resurrection of Jesus is meant to reassure us, particularly during troubled times, that God has a good way forward for us.
