Message: The Eternal Promise of Love and Hope Dear Friends, Today, I want to share a profound truth that has the power to transform our lives: hope springs eternal from love. In the tender embrace of Love, we find our Hope—a promise whispered softly, a beacon piercing the dark. Love, divine and pure, emanates from God. It is within its depths that our hearts find the trust to embark on journeys both known and unknown. We always trust in those we love, forging bonds that are strong yet fragile, as delicate as a dream. The fine line between love and hate is paper thin, a paradox, a dance upon a gleaming beam, where love frees the soul, lifting burdens high. Yet, in the same breath, it can suffocate with its intensity. But here lies the beauty of God's immense love: His promises stand firm, unwavering in their truth. No matter how bad or messed up our past may be, God promises a brighter, hopeful dawn. In the shadows of our failures and the chaos of our mistakes, His light breaks through, offering a new beginning. Hope is the trust we place in God's unfailing vows—a future blessed where fears are overthrown and joy is restored. It is the faith that if we act now, with hearts steadfast, the blessings we seek will come in due time, unfolding according to His perfect plan. Hope springs eternal from the heart of God, for Love never fails. It is the rhythm and rhyme of our existence, the heartbeat of our faith. Where prophecies cease and tongues fall silent, where knowledge fades like shadows in the night, these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these, shining ever bright, is Love. Let us hold fast to this truth. It is Love that anchors us, sustains us, and propels us forward, ever trusting in the promises of our Creator. May we live each day anchored in this Love, finding in it the eternal Hope that carries us through every challenge and every joy. Blessings to you all, Pastor Steven G. Lee (June 28, 2024)
