Waiting in Hope Bible in a Year: 2 Chronicles 23–24 John Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Romans : Today's Scripture & Insight: Romans :9– Rogelio served as our waiter during our weeklong vacation. In one conversation, he credited Jesus for blessing him with Kaly, a compassionate wife with strong faith. After they had their first baby, God gave them the opportunity help care for their niece who had Down syndrome. Soon after, Rogelio’s mother-in-law needed live-in care. Rogelio works with joy, often taking on double shifts ensure his wife can stay home care for the people God entrusted them. When I shared how the couple inspired love better because of the way they opened their hearts and home serve their family members, he said, “It is my pleasure serve them . . . and you.” Rogelio’s life affirms the power of living with generosity and trusting God provide as we serve one another selflessly. The apostle Paul urged God’s people be “devoted one another in love . . . joyful in hope, patient in affliction, [and] faithful in prayer” as we “share with the Lord’s people who are in need [and] practice hospitality” (Romans :10–). Our life can change in an instant, leaving us or those we love in circumstances that feel impossible bear. But when we’re willing share God has given us while we wait Him, we can cling His enduring love . . . together. Reflect & Pray How can you prayerfully and physically support someone in need today? How has God used someone to offer you tangible support while you waited for Him? God, please help me love others while I wait for You to work in and through my circumstances.

Sometimes, all we can do is listen, and remind ourselves and others of God's promises and of what He has done in the past. And pray.... it is a powerful force. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Since I had my health problem, I have learned many things, among them, to be more understanding with others. God has helped me a lot through His word, so as the apostle Paul says, if I have received comfort it is so that I can give comfort to others. And that's what I do: I share the Word of God that has comforted me, through short biblical reflections (recorded) that I send every week to all my contacts. Word of faith, hope, comfort, encourage, etc., based on God's promises. And many of my contacts forward it to others. That's my work to God five years ago.   Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.(Khalil Gibran)
