Hope. Many people are looking for hope. Many people are looking in the wrong places. You cannot find hope from within yourSELF. You cannot find hope in any type of substance, food, person, possession. Hope, true hope, can only be found in one place, Jesus. He came to this world to give us hope, hope for more than this life offers us on earth. I don't know about you, but that alone gives me hope. If this world was all there was, it would be a very bleak existence, which many live in because they don't turn their lives to Jesus and live a life centered in Him. Yes, we still have to live here, and experience the darkness in this world, but Jesus came to give us light, to give us hope. Hope for more than this life, life eternal, life that never ends, always in His presence. He overcomes the darkness in this world, and the darkness will not overpower Him, ever.
Do you need hope today? Look to Jesus. It's the reason He was born, it's the reason He died for us, to give us never-ending hope.
And his name will be the hope of all the world. Matthew 12:21
We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love. Romans 5:3-5
Do not be lazy but work hard, serving the Lord with all your heart. Be joyful because you have hope. Be patient when trouble comes, and pray at all times. Share with God’s people who need help. Bring strangers in need into your homes. Romans 12:11-13
Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. 1 Corinthians 13:7
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. John 1:5
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. John 1:5
