A WORD FOR YOUR DAY

The principles of faith, hope, and love are three great principles revealed to us in the Word. Hope is the picture you see afar off; the flicker of light on the horizon on which you fix your gaze. Many things may try to dissuade you from seeing the picture, but never let it go. It’s one thing to look at the picture far away; it’s another thing to take possession of it and bring it into the NOW of your life; that’s faith! Faith is when you take possession of the picture you see afar off through your confessions. The third of these principles is love, and according to the Bible, it’s the greatest of the three. The reason hope doesn’t disappoint is because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. We function with God through love; without love your faith wouldn’t work. I love the way the Message Translation renders Colossians 3:14: 'And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It’s your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it.
