The first step in beginning to bring the hope of God into your today is understanding that if God cares about your eternity, He also cares about your today...Having the Holy Spirit, the presence of God, the joy of the Lord, the love of God that’s been given to us in Christ, is our assurance that God actually does have a plan of salvation for us...The promise that we have in God is that when we crush grapes, God likes to turn them into wine. When life is crushing your grapes, I think that what we have, if we can stand on the promise, [is] that God works all things together for His [our] good.
