Hope

We have been going through a study series on Hope Sunday mornings and it has been a tremendous blessing to me. Some of the messages weren't anything pertaining to me but still were so encouraging. This past Sunday was the last in its series and our pastor used an acronym to define hope

H- holding 

O- on with

P- patient

E- expectations

So simply and beautifully put. Through any circumstance we may be going through we hold onto knowing that "this soon will pass", "this is for something bigger" , "not sure why I went through this but know God has a plan" there are a million things we tell ourselves or promises we hide in our hearts from what scripture tells us, but they all a form of HOPE. We are holding on with patient expectations knowing God is in control of our lives. He has a watchful eye on us. We should be looking forward to that day where we will be in heaven. That should be our ultimate hope that this life here will be just what it is our life here. On earth, because our hope is for that day when all our hurts, pain, sorrows will be wiped away and we will be celebrating in his kingdom together.

My newest creation was designed for a beautiful cause which brings Hope to so many.

"Give to other people, and you will receive. You will be given much. It will be poured into your hands--more than you can hold. You will be given so much that it will spill into your lap. The way you give to other people is the way God will give to you." Luke 6:38
