The Tide-Turning Power of Hopeნიმუში

Are you facing challenges in your life that you can’t see a way out of?

It may feel like dark clouds have appeared on the horizon, and they’ve set in for a long, cold winter. You don’t yet know how the financial stress will play out. You can’t see a way out of the emotional trauma that has gripped your mental health.

What if hope could exist within our mess? Our pain? Our reality right now?

A practical key to activating hope is to focus on others.

Before Job had his dramatic comeback, in Job 29 we read that he looked up and focused on others. In fact, Job found those who had less hope and helped them. In doing so, he said it was he who was blessed.

I don’t think we can live selfish lives and also see hope do its full work. What gives us hope is the learned habit of taking our eyes off our problems and looking up to a world full of needs. Serve. Contribute.

There is no such thing as giving too much hope to others.

Our world is in desperate need of light-bearers, of burden lifters. Give yourself to those who have greater needs than you.
