LOVE gives us HOPE (from the song "Hope To Carry On")
LOVE HAS COME, AND HE'S GIVEN ME HOPE TO CARRY ON What give you hope? What helps you keep taking steps forward? I was reminded today through a song that the LOVE of God - the love that IS God - gives us HOPE. It helps us. Helps us every single day. Give us reasons to keep taking one step forward. Take a minute to THINK about the love of Jesus Christ from these song lyrics. (From the song "Hope To Carry On," written by Rich Mullins, performed by Caedmon's Call) I can see Jesus, hanging on the cross He came looking for the lost I can hear Jesus, saying "Father forgive" What a thing He did I can see Peter, he put away his sword He won't fight no more LOVE HAS COME, AND HE'S GIVEN ME HOPE TO CARRY ON Take a minute and hear from the Book itself these moments of LOVE. Words of Jesus to a repentant Zacchaeus, from Luke 19:10 (emphasis mine): "For the Son of Man came to seek and TO SAVE THE LOST." From Luke 23:32-38
