VERSE:
In your hearts, set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to
give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the
hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.
– 1 Peter 3:15
THOUGHT:
We are to be ready and able to tell folks about the hope that
Jesus has brought to our lives! But when we share this hope, two
things are important: our credibility — is Jesus really Lord of
our hearts — and our character — do we show gentleness and
respect in our persuasion approach. The goal is not to win
arguments but hearts to the God of character!

PRAYER:
Holy and Loving Father, thank you for speaking your grace in
Jesus. I’m not sure I would have heard any other message. Give me
the conviction I need to share my hope in Jesus, but in a way that
reflects your grace. Through my Living Hope I pray. Amen.
