Once you choose hope, anything’s possible.
~ Christopher Reeve ~
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
~ Jeremiah 29:11 ~
“O LORD, you alone are my hope; I’ve trusted you from childhood.”
~ Psalms 71:5 ~
Love floods us with hope.
~ Jareb Teague ~
We cry, we hope, we call out to God to help. Sometimes the help is quick, but sometimes we don’t hear the answer that we think is best. And sometimes the answer to our prayers comes rushing in like a wave of hope, lifting us up with overwhelming love for God. And that’s how I am today….overwhelmed, thankful, grateful, loving God so much for His provision and lovingkindness. Thank you, God. “Praise the Lord! For he has heard my cry for mercy. The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.” ~Psalm 28:6-7 Blessings, Lisa
Whatever you’re going through today, don’t give up. Keep talking to Jesus; He is listening with His whole heart.
“You are on an adventurous trail with Me. This is not an easy time, but it is nonetheless good – full of blessings as well as struggles. Be open to learning all that I want to teach you as you journey through challenging terrain. And be willing to let go of familiar comforts so you can say a wholehearted “Yes!” to this adventure. I will give you everything you need to cope with the challenges you face…..”
I had to share with all of you part of a little book that I heartily recommend. Jesus Today by Sarah Young. I read it every morning for my time with God, and it has helped to encourage me so much. (This is no small thing, because I am terrible about being regular with devotions.) The author has gone through some pretty challenging health struggles before writing this book, and uses the things she has learned from God along the journey. So look for it….it will definitely encourage you and remind you that you are never, ever alone. Slainte, Lisa
