NOVEMBER 7 - NOVEMBER 13
Hope
Hey Lightgliders!
This week our theme is hope. It’s a small word with a big impact. To live with hope means to look to the future with the expectation that good things are coming. And because of God’s promise to restore this broken world one day, we can expect that good things are coming!
However, living with this expectation is tough to do sometimes, especially if things around us are tough. But, with our faith in Jesus, we always have a reason to live with hope. As we learned last week, God promises eternal life and a fully restored world in which we’ll live. He will make everything right again some day. The future is secure. Therefore, we always have a reason to hope!
And, trust me on this, hope is invigorating. It is electrifying. It is powerful! When we live with hope, we will share it with others. And, like a spark, the fire of hope spreads and the future begins to look brighter and brighter to those around you. Think of the Gliddles in the Yonders. Just knowing that Lightgliders are out there gives them hope that the future will be bright. This is the power of hope.
I try to wake up each day with hope--with the expectation that the day will be new, exciting, and meaningful. I'm telling you, living with hope makes a difference!
Glide On!
