Faith Hope Love

“And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” [1]

To-do lists help us remember things... before we shop... before traveling... at the beginning of a day. Faith, hope, and love are three important to-do’s to follow Jesus.

Faith

Don’t be afraid. Don’t worry! God is still on the throne. He made the sun, moon, and stars. He who sustains the universe is aware of you. He never slumbers nor sleeps. He has given His angels charge over you. He is able to sustain you by miracles if necessary.

Hope

Don’t turn down the road that says, “No hope.” Don’t go there. Maintain an attitude of gratitude. Stay on the road of praise and thanksgiving. What has God already done for you? Allow blessings to be HUGE in your mind. Don’t set unrealistic expectations for yourself! Be absolutely ecstatic about the eternal blessings that are to coming to you thanks to Jesus!

Love

Instead of me-ism... instead of materialism... instead of achieve-ism... L-O-V-E. Love those around you. Talk to people. Make a phone call. Do a zoom. Write an email. Text. Be kind. Add a L-O-V-E to-do on your list. Love unconditionally. No return necessary. Love for the sake of love.

Faith, hope, and love but the greatest of these love. “God is love.” [2]

[1] 1 Corinthians 13:13
[2] 1 John 4:8
