As you’re sent out with God’s grace, glory in the Christian faith. Give generously as someone who has been made rich in Christ’s fullness. And guard the good deposit entrusted to you.
God doesn’t just preserve us by putting a big, plexiglass dome over the sapling of our faith – but he preserves us by growing our faith into a mature tree, that can withstand windstorms and winters.
As we groan in the present, let's groan with hope. For God has prepared future glory for each of his children, and we will not be disappointed.
