PII - Pastel It Is

In our busy days, schedules can be quite overwhelming. But know that these are the days that we need God and His grace all the more 🤍

Every Christian's hope:
✨The hope of Christ’s return
✨The hope of resurrection
✨The hope of bodily redemption
✨The hope of salvation
✨The hope of eternal life
✨The hope of glory

You may be thinking that these future hope has nothing to do with our present reality--hardships, dealing with shame, broken relationship.. but these promises are the things that can keep us going. Like an athlete who is motivated by the outcome can endure hard training, so it will be like us, believers, who can endure suffering because the hope is far greater glorious than our present momentarily afflictions.

Paul's attitude in difficulties was like this, "We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed." (2 Corinthians 4:8‭-‬9) because he knows "... that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you to himself." (2 Corinthians 4:14)

So hang in there, there's hope. Just set your hope on Him, you won't be disappointed 🤍

Start the week with this reminder: God is your help.

In this week's battles that you have to face, God is with you.
In everything that may be causing you to be anxious or fearful, God is greater than them.
Remember that He will hold you and He will sustain you.

Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me. (Psalms 54:4)

This is my confidence: He is my help 🙌
