Optimism Fueled By Love

Tuesday January 10, 2023

 We can dare to be optimistic about life and our recovery because God's unconditional love will strengthen and build us up.  We can confidently rely on His goodness and mercy each day. The supply of God’s love for us will never run out because, God is love.

 Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.  (1 Corinthians 13:13 NLT) 

“Love covers a multitude of sins” is another truth we can be sure of.  Our bold claims about being confident to face the day often cover our feelings of vulnerability.  Fortunately, God’s love for us is unfailing.  No matter how many errors in judgment we may make, even though God may have to gently discipline us, He will never cease to love us.

 The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.  The Lord is good to those who depend on him, to those who search for him.  (Lamentations 3:22-23, 25 NLT) 

God’s love is available to us when we call on His name.  God will strengthen us when we feel weak.  God will work for good in every situation in our lives.  We can be confident of God’s love and care for us as we go forward in our life in recovery.  We can be optimistic because God is with us and God is for us. 

 Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.  So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.  (2 Corinthians 12:9, Hebrews 4:16 NLT)

 

Prayer: Gracious God, Thank You that Your love for me is unfailing, even when I am feeling weak.  Thank You that your mercy is available to me each day.  Once again, I turn my will and my life over to Your care.  Amen
