The Reason to Hope
“Where sin increased, grace overflowed all the more,”
It’s that simple. God is always bigger. He is always able. His grace is always enough. He’s not intimidated or nervous about our sin or our failure. His love is too big for that. He is too big for that.
God sees our failures and our sin, but He’s not phased. He just offers more grace, more mercy, more love. We just have to receive it.
There’s always a reason to hope.
God promises that His grace will be enough. It’s in this reading from Romans, and it’s in 2 Cor 10:9 - “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” He takes our littleness and makes it whole. He loves to exceed our expectations and that includes the overflow of His grace.
Sisters, let the overflow of grace wash over you today. Let it spill over into every area of your life and every crevice of your heart. His grace is enough. He is enough. He is the reason to hope.
