Multiplying Hope
How does growing love create hope in our world?
1 Thessalonians 3:12
“May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else.”
With the overflow of love comes the possibility for hope. And in love's immense abundance, hope can be multiplied—not just in our lives, but in the lives of those around us.
This verse speaks to that overflow, to what happens when we allow love to fill us until it, like water, breaks through a dam, then rushes out to fill every gap in the surrounding landscape. And in its wake, hope follows—spreading, rushing in, transforming not only us but everyone it touches.
Because unconditional love manifests goodness. And when we witness goodness, we crave more. In that craving hope blossoms, and though hope brings with it a sense of vulnerability, it also brings action.
How does growing love create hope in our world? What small act of love could you let 'overflow' today to spark hope in others?
