... hope that does NOT disappoint....

meeting with clients throughout the week, I appreciate the reminder from this weeks passage.. this is what I am striving for..

For our boast is this, the testimony of our conscience, that we behaved in the world with simplicity and godly sincerity, not by earthly wisdom but by the grace of God, and supremely so toward you....  ( 2 Corinthians 1:12 )

praying this morning that not "earthly wisdom" would inform my conversations with the girls here at Hope for Life and anyone else for that matter, but His wisdom and Godly sincerity...

so easy to forget about that, so easy to be compassionate and loving without pointing everyone to Christ,.. so easy to give advice and counsel coming just from me, not from God..

even if I knew everything the world has to offer women facing an unplanned pregnancy they would miss out on the eternal hope Jesus has to offer..

it is good to be reminded of what Hope for Life really stands for.. Hope for this life, Hope for the life of the unborn but ultimately Eternal Life for whoever will receive the gift from the Saviour..

Celebrating our first Birthday this weekend I thank God for this timely reminder..
it is all about Him and the hope He alone can offer.. all I need to be is a willing, empty vessel for Him to use..

we all are ministering to someone in our lives,  loving and caring for someone who does not have a relationship with Christ.. someone who is struggling to make it on their own.. let's tap into the wealth of wisdom and guidance and hope that is all ours in Christ Jesus.. let's live simple and honest lives, relying on Jesus for all we need and by our walk others will be able to find the hope that will never disappoint..

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.  Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;  perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. ( Romans 5 : 1-5 )

Loving the Hope that does NOT DISAPPOINT!!!!!!!!!
