Always hope in God
The Freeman
|September 26, 2025
No matter what happens, we should always continue hoping in God, since God never fails.
His love for us remains constant in spite of our infidelities, failures, and sins. In fact, it is in these predicaments that his love for us gets even more desirous as dramatized in the parables of the lost coin, lost sheep, and the prodigal son.
Yes, there’s always hope even in our worst condition. If Christ can resurrect the dead, the worst condition that we can find ourselves in, what else can he not do to save us?
Even if we are rotten to the core in terms of our speech and behavior, there is always hope. And so, we just have to be patient which does not mean that we do nothing. We have a lot to do, because God's grace and mercy would have no effect if we are not receptive to them by at least making an effort to correspond to his will.
