Romans 5:5 ” And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit whom He has given us.”
The hope we have is because of the Lord’s great love for us. No disappointment is too big…no challenge too great, that His love can’t overcome. This hope we possess has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit who is continually encouraging us to not give up.
Luke 9:61 ” Lord, I will follow You but….”
We’ve all had similar conversations with God. “Yes Lord, I’ll do that, except I can’t right now because…..” Why do we continually make excuses when the Lord prompts us to do something? Why do we hold back and falter when He’s pushing us ahead? Sometimes it’s from foolish pride, sometimes from insecurities, but a lot of the time it’s founded in fear. I saw a sign recently that said – “What would you do if you weren’t afraid?” What could you do for the Lord if fear was removed from the equation? Think of all the good that could be done around the world if Christians weren’t afraid to follow His leading.
