Don't Lose Hope

Good Morning!! Sometimes, I think we would be better off if we just shut the news off completely. Bad news sells, and we buy it by the truckloads. And the price we pay? If we don't keep things in a biblical perspective, it will cost us our hope, and faith. When Jesus left the earth the first time, He knew the generations of disciples to follow would have plenty of bad news to deal with. His advice?
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me… And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am."—John 14:1, 3 (NIV)
The promise of the second coming of Christ means that we have the opportunity to live lives of hope in the grace of God,...no matter how bad things look, or get. That's a powerful passage. It would be wise to be quiet right now, and just let those words of God speak for themselves. Savor those words, phrase by phrase, and let this living message massage your heart! Jesus is coming back, and therefore, we can live with unbridled hope,...that's the ultimate hope. And because the world is going south, His physical return is really the only hope left for the physical world.

​ ​

May that be where we place our hope today, and every day.

We are ready,...as long as we remain hopeful.

 O' Lord, we place our hope in You today. Let the bad news come and go,...by faith, we stand in Your grace, excited about Your glory, embracing Your love which has filled our hearts through Your Spirit. We look forward to Your physical return and we thank You for the presence of Your Spirit in our spirits right now. Amen.

" Faith does not mean the death of your old fun, old freedom, and old live,...Faith is the injection of REAL life into what you only Thought was life before."
