There is hope and love in Jesus Christ!  What we see happening around us and everything weighing on our hearts we can take to the Lord.  We may not always be understood but God knows us intimately and He loves us and sent His son to die on the cross for us.   John 3:16

Let us reflect on all that God has done in our life and how we have hope because Jesus died on the cross for us as we go through this Holy Week leading up to Easter.  How can we share the good news and gospel of Christ with those who may be hurting?  My prayer is that we can extend grace to those who are lost and do not know Him as we do.  As people are struggling in their relationship with God or unsure about their faith, we should pray for them and ask God how we can demonstrate love and guidance to them before jumping to judgement and condemnation.  Remembering to treat them how we would want to be treated as a basic principle for our lives.  Matthew 7:1-14
