Devastation, floods, droughts, pollution, war, famine, violence, selfishness, pride, greed, fear. All these things belong to the world. They cause us grief. They cause us suffering. They cause us to lose hope.
But there is hope.
God gives us this hope when all else seems hopeless. He grants us courage in a world where we tremble. He lends us strength in a world that saps our spirit. He cradles us in His love in a world where we don’t deserve such a love.
He is our light in the dark because He is greater than the world. He is greater than we could ever be, greater than anything we could ever make, greater even than creation itself.
He gives us hope and a future because He has overcome the world. I can't express how blessed we are to be a part of God's family - loved, saved and protected because He is so Great.
How does God give you hope?

Oh so touching Lyn. Enjoyed reading this post. Blessings.
God gives me hope through His
word because I know I can go
there and find the help,
encouragement and answers to
whatever is troubling me.
That's how He gives hope
most frequently but nothing
compares with hearing a direct
word from His Spirit to mine.
Blessings,
Sandy
Answered prayer gives me hope and renews faith. Waiting for those answered prayers is hard...that's where we are right now.
Thanks for this encouragement today in the word.
I have hope because I know what awaits me beyond this world and this life, no matter how crappy it becomes some days.
Yes these days are bad days but we know God is greater...Great post

What a great word today.
I think I'll share it with a hurting friend.
Thanks for being a light!

I love the hope He gives me through His Word when I meet hIm early in the morning to get refreshed by His truth. Praise God for the Living Hope we have in Him!
Hope keeps us going. Hope is God's light.
Thank you for all your comments.
God gives me hope through His word...through the actions of others...and through His Spirit...I choose to have faith in Him...knowing He will do all He has promised....
God give me hope because he creates in us a newness of life that we can share with others.
He gives me hope because He is greater than anything I can imagine. He spoke the world into existence, controls the wind and waves, and loves me beyond measure. How can I NOT hope in Him?! God bless you!
