We’ve been looking at Romans 15:13, and seeing that those who trust in God will overflow with hope. Sometimes, in our daily discussions about Jesus, my wife and I imagine these biblical truths from Molly’s point of view. Molly is our trusty old golden retriever. This is her devotional poem. It’s called “There’ll Be Treats.”

It’s dark,
and I’m waiting
by the door
for my master
to return.

I wish
my master
would return.
When he does,
there’ll be treats!
