And I am not talking about the kind of hope for a sunny day or a winning ticket, although there is nothing wrong with that. No, I am talking about the hope that sustains our very being.
The hope that keeps us going when all else stops. The hope that says YES when all other voices say NO. The hope that goes beyond this life... into eternity.
I am talking about Jesus Christ, Hope of the nations... may He fill your heart with peace and joy, so there will be no room left for fear and worry.
While the secular media pumps one hopeless message after another into society, the silent whisper of hope takes root in hearts all over the globe. Each day more. My New Year's wish is that you will experience this hope in 2016.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
(Romans 15:13)
Hope! Can't live without it! I pray hope for you as well. I just used that scripture in a meme. May your New Year overflow with abundant blessings!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lynn for your kind words. Let's keep blogging!
DeleteDe Hoop zegt Ja als andere stemmen Nee zeggen. Wat een reden tot dankbaarheid dat Zijn Ja klinkt over ons leven.
ReplyDeleteJuist, mooi is dat he Ron, Zijn ja... daar hijs ik me aan op!
DeleteHope is all of it, isn't it? The reason we do anything really. Thankfully that Hope is forever with us, in all His glory!
ReplyDeleteThe reason we do anything really.... that is so true! Thanks for stopping by Lynn.
DeleteHope is such a powerful element in our eternal picture, isn't it? I need to cultivate more of it. Thanks so much for the encouragement! :)
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure Karin, we all need encouragement... daily :)
DeleteHOPE was my word of the year a couple of years ago. I learned a lot about having hope in difficult times.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you and yours.
