In order to live with hope in a hard world, we have to get really good at seeing the evidence of our relationship with an invisible God. We have to see and acknowledge the things that point to His nearness, His awareness of us and His love for us.
Contentment comes from actively participating in Christ’s life and surrendering worldly desires. This focus on spiritual fulfillment leads to genuine godly contentment.
Jesus calls us to go beyond the minimum requirements of faith and embrace a love that reflects His example of radical equality and grace.
