from Revelation 21:1-6
How are we to find hope amidst devastation and loss? It is not necessarily a question of looking at what is around us, rather it is a question of where our hope is anchored that determines how we face the challenges of the present. The word from Jesus is that He will return and renew all things and the degree to which we root ourselves in that truth and live our lives in the present based on that future hope shapes both our perspective and our ability to how we work to bring renewal to the world around us.
