Hope

The 4th day community would like to welcome the new men and women who decided to say "YES" to Christ. You are in for a royal treat as you journey through the rest of your life as Cursillistas traveling with Christ and allowing Him to work in you and through you for the greater glory of God!

"For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." Jer 29:11

and again...

"For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power in us who believe, according to the working of his great might..." Ephesians 1: 15-19

Did you see "open the eyes of my heart" in there, ladies? :-) And one more...

And you, who once were estranged... he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable before him, provided that you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel which you heard..." Colossians 1: 21-23

We have been given a great hope. And my prayer for you new cursillistas today is that you continue in your new found hope in Christ Jesus, that He may comfort you, guide you, enrich you and give you the strength to "continue in the faith... not shifting from the hope of the gospel which you heard."

May God bless you!
Ultreya! (onward!)
