There Will Always Be Hope

Dear friends, today I want you to know that there is hope to light the darkness, there is peace to calm the raging fear, and their is grace to redeem each moment. I want you to know that no matter how hard and how far you fall, God will always be there for you. Regardless of what your have been through there will always be hope. There will always be a new and better day waiting for you. Early in the morning, It’s the dawn of a new day, new hopes, new dreams and new ways.

Life is a test. It throws problems at us and waits for us to crumble, under the distress. It looks as we struggle, and gathers the pieces that are left. But if we look at it differently, we can carry on brilliantly. It’s just a matter of will power and being courageous. It's just a matter of refusing to be a coward and facing what is dangerous. It's just a matter of focusing on His grace and goodness, instead on our problems.

Life doesn’t throw problems at us, to see us lose hope. No, it expects us to become strong. It doesn’t expect us to mope or mourn. We fall, we rise, we make mistakes, we live and we learn. We’re human, not perfect. We’ve been hurt but we are alive. Think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive -- to breathe, to think, to enjoy and to chase the things we love.

Sometimes there is sadness in our journey but there is also lots of beauty. We may feel hopeless, depressed, frustrated or angry. But God’s love is so transforming that it doesn’t matter how complicated or hopeless our situations, He can heal us. We must keep putting one foot in front of the other even when we hurt for we never know what is waiting for us just around the bend.

 
I hope you find yourself warmed by the sweet embrace of loving company.

And if your days feel cold with loneliness and isolation, I pray that you will nestle into hope.

I hope you find a moment of courage to lift your eyes and your heart just a little higher, in order that you may see the loving heart of our Lord, outstretched for you.

I hope you’re reminded that your lonely times aren’t really barren, empty, untouched times but pruned ones.

I hope you’re reminded that there is a coming Love more abundant than any you can imagine.

I hope you experience a beautiful glorious moment from God. A sense of awe wraps your heart as your soul relaxes into the peace of His presence. A week ago, I had this glorious moment.

I hope you have a better day today...
