I have been daring to hope... That is terrifying to me because there is a strong possibility that I will be disappointed.
Here are some thoughts shared by the preacher at Chapelwood United Methodist last week.
Pretty mind-blowing to me.
Hope is not just a desire.
Hope is a decision with expectation.
"Oh God our help in ages past... Our hope for years to come." We choose to hope because we remember His mercy in the past.
Hope is not rooted in an emotion. It's a decision.
Hope is the divine promise protesting against suffering.
When we decide to hope, we are warring against darkness and despair.
Romans 5. Endurance leads to patience, patience leads to character and character leads to hope.
Thank you Father God for your faithfulness to me in the past. Today I choose to hope. Hope that I will hold my child very soon. I hope because You are a promise keeper.
