Awake and Alert
Series: 1 Peter
Summary
Life’s challenges call for gratitude, resilience, and a commitment to faith, hope, and grace. In the face of chaos and opposition, it’s important to stay grounded, resist negativity, and trust that difficulties are temporary and restoration will come. Grace is always present, inclusive, and transformative, offering strength to move forward and unite with others. Living with purpose means embracing faith in every aspect of life, especially during tough times, and reflecting hope and grace to those around us.

- “Grace is love that seeks you out when you have nothing to give in return. Grace is love coming at you that has nothing to do with you. Grace is being loved when you are unlovable. The cliche description of grace is unconditional love, and it is a true cliche, for it is a good description of a good thing. Grace is irrational, in the sense that it has nothing to do with weights or measures. Grace is terrible math. It has nothing to do with my intrinsic qualities or my so-called gifts, whatever they may be. Grace is one-way love. Grace does not make demands. It just gives, and from our vantage point, it always gives to the wrong person." - Preston Sprinkle
