Hope
Friend, do you wake-up each morning filled with the Spirit of Hope?
As believers this is our right; to have Hope.
Not just the hope that is in the world, where men and women anguish over their lives, but the Hope of God where we believe that our God is Good, and is doing all things according to His Will for us; making ways where there seems to be no way to us, healing our minds and hearts, teaching us to love as He Loves us, providing all our needs, giving us confidence for each hour, filling us with Hope for the day and our future.
Believing in Him draws us to Him; causing Him to fill us with Hope for each new day and in all things concerning us.
Walking in Hope fills us with all the positive thoughts and feelings we need to face each day in every situation, because we know that God has promised us many things and He is not a liar.
He is right there with us; even in the dark times of sorrow and pain.

Friend, through the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, God has made a Way for those who believe in Him, to have Forgiveness from God for all their sins; that they may live in Hope of Eternal Life and a life filled with the Hope of God, for all they may encounter in this world.

Now our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us Everlasting Consolation and Good Hope through His Grace

Friend, let us humble our soul before the Cross in awe and wonder of how Great our God Is. Let us shed all our sorrow, pain and doubt at the foot of the Cross, shed our sinful nature and ask for His Hope to fill us with Joy for each day.
Jesus holds all that is our Hope in His hands, and will not let the evil one grasp it from Him. We just need to keep our eyes, ears, heart and mind fixed on the One Who died for us to have Hope.

And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of Hope unto the end:

Which Hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast,

1 Peter 1:3

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the Hope that is in you, with meekness and fear: (Awe of the Power of God over our souls.)
1 John 3:3
And every man that hath this Hope in Him purifieth himself, even as He is Pure. ( By God's Standards.)
1 Thessalonians 4:13
But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. (Do not be ignorant, those who die in ignorance, have no hope.)
Know God and live in Hope which brings Joy to the soul for the remainder of our lives!
