Hope quotient
January 3, 2019
How is your hope quotient today, my friend. Its normal to have a down streak after a packed time with positives. Of course, there are moments of not so much cheer. But we are on the move with a purpose. And now that’s behind.
Jesus birth brings us hope. But hope is a fragile thing. Fatigue can lower the quotient. Remembering words we would rather not have heard. Pondering expectations that did not happen.
We do have the option to choose not to spend time with those who squelch our hope. We are better able to do what God calls us to do. Complainers need not be our companion. One friend reminded me that Jesus told his followers to ‘shake off the dust on their feet’ from unfriendly people and locations.
Choose to be with those who build your hope. Jesus does it best.
