" 13 So I pray that God, who gives you hope, will keep you happy and full of peace as you believe in Him. May you overflow with hope through the power of the Holy Spirit."
We are not without hope! I love this so much I don't even know how to describe it. No matter what crap, heartaches, persecution, spiritual warfare, loss, stress, or hardship we endure, we always have the hope of Christ with us. I love that He reminds us of this as well. Whether it be through a hard time, or a joyous occasion, He always seems to find a way to remind me of the hope that I have in Him, every day. We have such a generous God, and I love that this is one of the things He gives to us abundantly. Through Him we have hope in eternity with Him; hope to make it through each day, whether good or bad; hope in overcoming our weaknesses and disabilities; hope in making a difference.The lyrics from Trading My Sorrows keep going over in my head:
"I am pressed, but not crushed; persecuted, not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. I am blessed beyond the curse, for His promise will endure, and His joys gonna be my strength".
Also the lyrics from Jesus Messiah:
"All our hope is in you. All our hope is in you. All the glory to you, God. The light of the world."
