That’s what makes this promise by Jesus so remarkable
Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.”
Matthew 7:24 (NIV)
To build hope doesn’t happen by turning on a switch. A totally rebuilt life doesn’t just drop out of the sky. It’s not like the Star Trek transporter that somehow magically makes you disappear from where you and and instantly appear somewhere else.
We have to be in the process of putting his words into practice. One by one. One decision followed by another. One word after another. One act of kindness after another. One selfless act after another.
Like Machu Picchu, we build hope one stone at a time. So, let’s get to work.
