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.

Amazing relationship


"...they are now justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus" Romans 3:24



And for your ponderings this morning, a beautiful poem by my friend and colleague Katie.
 Peace-- Andrea


AMAZING GRACE
By Pastor Katie Suggit

Grace brings even the smallest of faces
Into the grandest of spaces.
Grace gathers the least, lost, last, lonely
And lands them securely in the lap of love.

Grace is not the 'thing' that fills us up
Or makes us feel fulfilled;
It is reconciled relationship with the
Living God that makes us complete.

Grace is the holy sphere in which we find our
True being and self, and apart from which
We cannot know abundant life.

Grace grows in us senses of generosity, gentleness, and gratitude.
It is the very ground of our being.

Almighty God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit

Amazing Grace - now and forever.
Amen
