Like April’s two donkeys, a thankful Believer always keeps his eyes on his Life-giver. He succeeds because his faith trumps everything, including in the infallible truth he will eventually join his Life-giver for all of eternity.

You look in a mirror. A smile brightens your face. You’ve never looked better or happier. Letting out a happy sigh, you even wink at yourself. No more pressure to commit good deeds. Yes, I said ‘commit.’ Tomorrow, your plan is to sleep until 11, then go to WalMart in your pajamas.

Far, far better to examine a person’s character rather than how he looks physically. So what do we know of Jesus?

The foundation of our ‘living hope’ isn’t found in us. We can have no anticipation in any ‘living hope’ we create. It is only found in Jesus, and we simply have to trust in Him. He fulfills His promise: “For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
