Hope Within You!

For Thursday, December 3, 2020

1 Peter 3:15 Phillips: “Concentrate on being completely devoted to Christ in your hearts. Be ready at any time to give a quiet and reverent answer to anyone who wants a reason for the hope that you have within you.”

I like being around other believers! They're all positive thinkers, filled with lots of hope! That hope, of course, is knowing that death is not the end. Rather it's the beginning of an eternal life in paradise in the presence of God Almighty!

Jesus wanted us to share this hope with the world, so we should never be shy when others ask about Jesus. He, after all, holds the keys to heaven's door! Jesus said that no one comes to the Father except through him, and I'm good with that because I intend to be with Jesus! Others may not be ready yet, so we're cautioned to be kind and gentle as we share the Good News. Christianity works best through attraction! If others see the joy we have, they will grow to desire that too, and they'll go to any length to get it!

Blessings to all this week!
