There’s Hope.
I know I say that often, but I do so for a reason. Why? Because we need to be reminded that there is hope in the midst of explosions ringing out in Boston, shoot outs with suspects and terror plots being thwarted in Toronto.
Fam, there’s hope!
Hope is defined as “the feeling that things will turn out for the best”.
We can still have confidence, that regardless of the awful events that are currently taking place as a result of our human depravity, things will ultimately turn out for the best.
I wrote the following in a previous blog. I think it rings true today:
Hope is essential.
Every couple that embarks upon a committed relationship has hope.
Every parent that holds a newborn in the hospital has hope.
Every artist that chases a dream to the silver screen has hope.
Every employer and employee that work each day to get a job done has hope…
Otherwise, why would anyone bother?
Hope is essential.
And our hope does not disappoint because it is based on God’s love for us.
Romans 5:1-5 explains that when we have been saved by faith, we have peace with God through Christ and we can boast in hope of God’s glory as well as boast in our tribulations “knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”
Our hope springs eternal…
Through tribulation, through perseverance, through character, hope is proven and does not disappoint. It springs eternal.
Hope is like that candle’s flame above that won’t go out.
There is coming a time when there are no more bombings, no more hurting one another, no more sorrow, no more pain. I look forward to that day. I have hope. Do you?
I pray for you today – that hope will not disappoint you as God’s love is poured out in your heart. Please do me a favor and pray for someone you know who also needs hope today.
There’s hope,

I signed up for your blog because you encourage us with up-to-date messages. Today’s scripture caught my attention because I am always grateful for HOPE, but I had forgotten to be thankful for the process of tribulation, perseverance, character and HOPE. As a cancer survivor I can say that God’s grace brought me through each of those steps and HOPE is still in my heart. Thank you, God!
Thanks so much Darlis for your message.
I’m so glad the blog is encouraging you.
And PRAISE GOD that you survived cancer. My husband is a survivor too. We know that journey well.
So grateful for you.
Blessings,
Naima
