HopeSample

There have been times in my life I thought things couldn't get any worse. These were hopeless times. I thought "If things stay this way, I don't know if I can go on." Looking back, I see more clearly. These experiences have taught me God is involved even when I don't see it. I see his plans more clearly today than yesterday. This gives me hope. God cared all along and had a plan. Trust God. He is trustworthy. Jeremiah 29:11 Have you ever thought something like: "No one really likes me - I just keep blowing it!"? I know, along the way, I have offended people. Guilt rose up. Self doubt and even contempt for myself were present. Here's the thing. God knows me better than anyone. He MADE me. He created my mind and gave me a mouth. He NEVER stops loving me. He is faithfully committed to me forever. Every day is a new beginning with God. Lamentations 3:22-23 Some might say, "Seeing is believing". Nope, "Believing is seeing". My spiritual eyes were opened the day I believed in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Now, that is REAL HOPE. Romans 8:24-25 Broken-hearted? Depressed? Well, I've been there and done that. It's a temporary state. You just don't believe it. You are exactly the person Jesus was anointed to minister to! He's on a mission. He has a "Get out of jail" message for you to believe and take to heart. You will be free and full of hope if you accept and believe him! Isaiah 61:1
