One of the most significant verses to me is “Though you have not seen him, you love him; though not seeing him now, you believe in him, and you rejoice with inexpressible and glorious joy, because you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.” I take for granted the hope we have in Christ and act like I’m just going through the motions without the joy. But after I witnessing a baptism, hearing a testimony, or listening to a horrific story that is redeemed by our Father’s love, I am rejuvenated to not be complacent or asleep to what God is doing all around us. W have a hope that is exploding with joy!
“God’s unfailing love for us is an objective fact affirmed over and over in the Scriptures. It is true whether we believe it or not. Our doubts do not destroy God’s love, nor does our faith create it. It originates in the very nature of God, who is love, and it flows to us through our union with His beloved Son.” - Jerry Bridges, Trusting God: Even When Life Hurts
