Hope


The dictionary defines the word "hope" as: 1. the general feeling that some desire will be fulfilled 2. promise: grounds for feeling hopeful about the future.

One of the greates gifts of being a Christian is hope.

God has a plan and a purpose for our future and knowing that gives us hope.
Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

When life becomes more than we can handle, we can have hope that God will get us through.
1 Timothy 5:5 - The widow who is really in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day to pray and to ask God for help.
2 Corinthians 1:10 - He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us,

And when this life ends we have hope in eternal life!
Titus 3:7 - so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.
Peter 1:3 - ... In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
