Hope in The Face of Jesus

I was visiting with a friend who is struggling through significant and unexpected family turmoil. The circumstances are causing her to reach out to find help from her Lord. She even said, "I'm growing in ways I didn't expect to grow. I'm learning to have peace in ways I thought I already had peace." Just like all of us who love Him, the Lord isn't finished until we're in glory. In fact, the Apostle Paul reminds all of us who have had that veil of unbelief removed, that we are being transformed into His glorious image … from one state of glory to the next. By His sovereign grace, God is transforming His beloved saints everyday … Paul writes, " … but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day." 2 Cor 4:16b Christians are realists … even though we see and experience the evidences of decay in this fallen world, yet we look forward, with hope, as we experience daily renewal!
