today, it is hope that is the anchor of my soul. i am coming out of the final stages of divorce. a 26-year marriage dissolving which makes me gun-shy (sorta) about ‘love’ & ‘trust’, but hope keeps me going on this oft times crazy journey of life we all can relate to…
today? well, i guess today IS the day of salvation… but when is “today” anyway?
from ‘before’ the beginnings of the foundations of the world, we were set aside, you and i. i love that thought.
I like this question, because it reminds me that my old assumptions about what “being saved” means were quite limiting. I am being saved *today* by laying aside my own judgments and interpretations of events. And hearing His voice clearly again. Hope and trust are also a theme for me. :)

@greg_boyd God's distance allows enough space for us to be free to choose to love and trust Him without coercion of His irresistible nature. 2 months ago
Today, Love continues to pull me toward hope and trust.

I am sorry about your divorce Joseph. I pray that hope continues to hold you as your heart is healed.
Sometimes how I am being saved is not nearly so important as the fact of it itself. Today is one of those days …
I like what Sonja says. Faith in the reality of our salvation is beautiful. The how, well, God knows and I can rest in that.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I will be revisiting this topic soon with more ideas about the nature of our salvation.
