Three Things

"So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love." - 1 Corinthians 13:13 ESV

"...remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ." - 1 Thessalonians 1:3 ESV

"But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation." - 1 Thessalonians 5:8 ESV

Faith, Hope and Love

Hope in Jesus... Hope becomes a covering for our thinking.

The work of faith is combined with the labor of love to make up a protection on our heart.

These three abide (have a home) now on Earth in God's plan.

Jesus must be at the center of this and every other meditation. Grace. Mercy. What He has done and how He thinks must be central.

No striving. No outcome driven focus. Just Faith, Hope and Love abiding now.

God show us how that applies today in our interactions and planning. Not just a pie in the sky future. Our thinking dwells in Heavenly places so that we can have a place to abide here and now on the Earth in our actual provisions.

A covering for our heart and for our head. That is what we need and that is what we have.
