Hope

In our busy lives, suffering is considered an unwelcome guest. But could suffering really be a blessing from God? Because Christ suffered, we should also expect to suffer as we live for him. God will sustain us in our suffering and will use our suffering as a means to help us grow into the Christian he needs us to be in order to impact his world.

The Promise

No matter what you are facing, hell cannot stop you from being all that God has called you to be and doing all that God has called you to do.

Nothing is finished in your life until God declares it so!
