Promises ~ Sanctus Real
For this is how
much God loved the world—he gave his one and only, unique Son as a
gift. So now everyone who believes in him will never perish but
experience everlasting life. ~ John 3:16 TPT

This scripture has always been in my heart. I'm sure it's
because it's the first one I memorized in Sunday School as a child. It's a
verse most Christians know. It's the reason we can call ourselves Christ-followers, but also the greatest promise as one. Eternal life. Life
everlasting. These are the words of the promise of hope.
When do we need hope? Everyday! When we watch the news,
when life is hard, and when heaven receives another loved one. The night before
last, heaven received Brad's grandma. She was a sweet lady who will be missed
on earth. And as we grieve and mourn the loss, we can also cling to the
promised hope.
Father, I won't
lie, loss hurts! It hurts because the one loved-one is gone, but also because
it reminds us of those we lost previously. But even as I type these words, Holy
Spirit reminds me they are not lost, but found, and held up in His love. Thank
you, Father, for loving us so much, that You gave us the promise of hope
through Your Son. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.
