The Journey of Hope

Romans 15:13

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.

Hope takes the ordinary and paints it with colour.

Hope stirs the heart and inspires the soul.

Hope is a confident expectation.

So much more than a physical emotion, hope is a spiritual grace.

Hope is at times hidden, but in the midst of a challenge is when it has the chance to shine.

That is why for a Christian you need to put your hope in God.

If the devil can steal your hope, you lose your joy, if you lose your joy you are without strength.

“Many of the great achievements of the world were accomplished by tired and discouraged men who kept on working.” Dale Carnegie

“Hope never abandons you; you abandon it” George Weinberg

“When you say a situation or a person is hopeless, you are slamming the door in the face of God.” Charles L. Allen

1 Peter 1:13

Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. (hope to the end)

Not just filled with hope from the God of hope but overflowing with hope from above. Hope is the meeting place where grace and faith collide. I love hope; it fills me with great expectation and stimulates passion for the purposes of God.

Set your hope in God and don’t be moved.
