Lord, we feel like we're making a right mess of things. Everything's
going wrong. This is the story of today's world. It's not just everybody
else's story. It's our story. None of us can escape the truth - we're
sinners.
Thank You, Lord - That's only part of the truth concerning
us. We are loved by You. We hear this, Lord - but still we wonder, "Can
You do anything with us?" Has this world reached the end of the road? Is
our situation hopeless? Is there any hope for any of us? We feel
ourselves being dragged into a black hole - then we hear Your Word
speaking to us: ‘the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus
our Lord’ (Romans 6:23). Gift? - It's not earned by us. It's given to
us. Hope? Where does it come from? - From Jesus Christ our Lord!
