peace, hope, love. . . beauty


Romans 5: 1-5 “ Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand.  And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.  Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.  

Any situation, trial, or struggle in our lives should not hinder us from receiving peace and having hope in God.  His love for us is so amazing, so powerful, and abundant that the hardships in life can be beautiful.  Each and everyday, we wake up with new mercy, new compassion, and new grace.  With every “hard thing” in our life, God wants to build us up.  He wants us to keep persevering so that in the end we won’t be lacking anything.  Like this picture, our lives can be peaceful.  Our lives can have serenity.  Our lives can be beautiful; we just have to completely submit to God.  Be naked.  Beauty is obtainable.
