Abounding

Therefore my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord… 1 Corinthians 15:58

Always Abounding

When we feel overwhelmed
Abounding in peace
When we are grieving
Abounding in comfort
When exhausted
Abounding in His strength
When I am ashamed
Abounding in forgiveness
When sick
Abounding in His healing
When I am afraid
Abounding in His courage
Or alone
Abounding in His presence
And His promise
To be with us always
And that in Christ
I can do all things!



“We ask you to give us a steadfast living faith, a firm trust, a holy hope, a perfect love, so that we may serve you with all our life and strength to the very end. Amen!” Amish Prayers compiled by Beverly Lewis

Because He is the God of Hope

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
Romans 15:13 ESV

Hope is often encouraged by sayings like, “Don’t give up on hope” or “There’s always hope!” But the truth is that if we are disconnected from God then the only hope available is a false hope and there are a million people out there willing to offer it to us at a price. But in the moment we surrender to Jesus – who is the God of hope – then no matter our present circumstance we find there is hope all around us. I was especially touched by this video from the prison ministry, God Behind Bars.” It gives me great hope seeing these hundreds of men who had lost all hope, finding amazing hope again in Jesus Christ. This made my day and I HOPE that it makes yours!
