Words of Inspiration

Today’s message was written by my friend Rev. Roger Kunkel, founder of Dial Hope.

From the Bible, the Manufacturer’s Handbook, come these inspiring words that lift our spirits:

“While (the Prodigal Son) was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him and kissed him.” – Luke 15:20

“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth.” – John 1:14

“Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.” – Psalm 127:1

“Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the lands! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing!” – Psalm 100:1-2

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” – Psalm 46:1

“There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.” – 1 John 4:18

“As each has received a gift, empty it for one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.” – 1 Peter 4:10

“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” – Hebrews 11:1

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” – 2 Timothy 4:7

Let us pray: O God of light, who makes the sun to rise each morning, we praise you for your Son Jesus, who came into the world to bring the light of life to a darkened world. Lord, what are you up to today? We want to be a part of it. Help us this day to walk with hope. We love you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
