1. While the world is full of horizons and endpoints, for Christians, there is always tomorrow, and there are people in that tomorrow waiting for us as we wait for them.
  2. We ache in eager anticipation as we see Christ in action and as we take in the snapshots of his life, death, and resurrection.
  3. Help comes for those who cannot help themselves. When we bottom-out and come to the end of ourselves, that is where hope springs.
  4. Our God is a living God and he listens to our cries for help.
  5. Through water, blood, and word, the Spirit never stops pointing us to Christ, and even more, giving us Christ.
  6. The good news is that with our God there is always more: more than we deserve, dare, ask, or expect, more than we can see, hear, feel, or think.
  7. The reason that God’s commandments are not burdensome is that Jesus has fulfilled them.
  8. Both now and forever, the bruised and crucified Lord nailed to a cross is our assurance of deliverance.
  9. The love mentioned in 1 John 4:15-21 fourteen times (!) is a love that needs no apology but is determined at all times to sacrifice for the other.
  10. We can appreciate what we have received from God, we can receive it all as free gift, but only when we stop investing in fool's gold.
