Living Hope
The hope that God offers us is alive and well.
It is not some naive notion filled with wishful thinking.
The hope God offers us is not lost, buried deep within legend or lore.
It is not something reserved for the holy, righteous, and sin-free.
Jesus came to save the lost, broken, and discarded, showing us that His living hope is available to all.
The good news is that Jesus's living hope is still alive and available to us today.
The hope God gives us is alive and actively participating with us.
It assures us that we can trust and believe what God says is true even when we can't see the path ahead.
God's living hope strengthens and fights for us as we cling to our faith for dear life.
I am so grateful that God is actively participating in our lives today and that the living hope we read about in the Bible is still alive, and available to us today.
God's living hope is enough to strengthen us to continue this journey.
It is a hope that we can trust in forever and ever.
Doesn't this truth make you feel better, knowing that we aren't the only ones hoping?
God is with us, pulling, pushing, and offering hope when we can't see our through.
Thank you, God, for never leaving us and providing us with living and active hope when we need it the most.
Thank You, God, for this beautiful life you have given us.
1 Peter 1: 3-5
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade.
This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
Hebrews 10:23
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.
Romans 15:13
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
