Hope
I was once driving along in my car and I pulled up behind a truck that had seen better days. It was the kind of truck that by its very appearance caused you to want to know the driver, you just know there is a story there.

Putting away condemnation…for good~
I just had a recent meeting with two women who are both in the sweet, middle space of life (yes, in their 50’s) and it was so interesting how each of them independently during our time together shared of a constant battle with condemnation.

Jesus came that we would have life…abundant life!
Jesus said in John 10:10b, “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” More abundantly… oh now isn’t this just what we need to remember on a Monday?! The word abundant is by definition, “plentiful or well supplied.” Well supplied…I like that! Jesus did not just come to give us life…but a plentiful or well supplied life. Isn’t this great news?
