Chronic Hope


Why "chronic hope" ? The Free Merriam-Webster dictionary defines chronic as " marked by long duration or frequent recurrence". I named this blog Chronic Hope as it is my intention that this will be a place where hope, encouragement, compassion and understanding will be the heart of this site.

This is a place for people in all parts of the journey of life.

Holy Week Reflection - Part 8

Scripture: John 3:16-17
"This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn't go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again.”

Reflection: Love is the last word
In the end, what this all comes down to is love. Love of a God who is so in love with his people that God is willing to risk it all, give what is precious to him, so that his people may live and know the depths of God’s life-changing love.  As the light of Christ went out- love didn’t die-  it took on new life as it was shared with the world.  And in 3 days that love would be known in a new and mind-boggling way.  Today let us  carry the love that God has given from the beginning. May this Holy Saturday help us to share that love as we see today not as an end, but a new beginning… all because of God’s love.
