“For we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for all of God’s people, which come from your confident hope of what God has reserved for you in heaven.” Colossians 1:4-5 NLT
It’s worth noting that faith in Jesus and love for others grows from the hope of heaven! With my mind set on what Jesus has done for me, won for me and what He is preparing for me, I can live with a new perspective, and a new purpose. If God has taken care of my eternity then He will surely get me through what is temporary. So, living with the hope of heaven, and as a citizen of His Kingdom, my faith in Jesus grows and I can focus on the task of loving others well. Lord, don’t let me lose faith or love, help me not to get distracted by the worries and offences that come as I journey through this world, but renew my hope as I fix my eyes on You, and as I live in the light of the best that is still to come. Amen 🙏🏼
