Hope
Hope: 1. the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best: to give up hope. 2. a particular instance of this feeling: the hope of winning. 3. grounds for this feeling in a particular instance: There is little or no hope of his recovery. 4. a person or thing in which expectations are centered: The medicine was her last hope. 5. something that is hoped for: Her forgiveness is my constant hope. Hope in many ways keep us pushing forward. Without hope there is no dream! I think well all need a little hope in our lives. Just a little hope can keep someones mind from snapping, someones blood pressure from topping, someones job from ending, someones stress leveled, someones child, wife, husband, parents or family member safe. Someones life from ending and someones career beginning.
Hope in many ways is like faith. You need them both to survive. Hard-times can make you think all hope is gone. But think of hardtimes as a step closer to your Blessing. When your mind in focused on hope there is no room for doubt. Remember the mind is powerful. The enemy will try to take the mind out first, then he knows the body is next. We have to fight harder and say to ourselves I HAVE HOPE! I WILL MAKE IT! Keep speaking these things until something happens. Faith and Hope will prevail.
Psalm 31:24 Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord.

I’ve been learning a lot about hope myself lately!!!! It is what motivates me to keep on keeping on. With out hope. life would be meaningless. One verse that I always hang onto about hope is Hebrews 6:19 We have this Hope (talking about jesus) as an anchor for our souls, firm and secure. Praise God something is. <3
Yes, I like that. Thank you for that word. We have to encourage each other and push daily.
