Acorn Build Up: Borrowed Hope

Borrowed Hope, by Sandy Egle

1 Peter 3:15
...Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have...

In today’s world, there are many hopeless people. I have had the privilege of supporting many hopeless people in my counseling career, but one individual put me to the test regarding my faith. As I shared the reason for my hope, the love of God, this individual asked me if they could borrow some of my hope until they were able to find their own hope. Of course I happily shared some of my hope with them.

Do you have enough hope to share with someone who has none of their own? Scripture instructs us to be prepared to help others understand where our hope comes from. Be ready to help them know the source of your hope and make sure you have enough to share!
