'True hope is believing God is good no matter what He decides to do.
I used to think hope was a fluffy, faraway feeling—like cotton candy for your heart. I’ve learned real hope is gritty, real, and raw. It’s strong and wild, unpredictable and fierce.
I’ve had so many conversations with God along the lines of, “Lord, no more with the hope thing. Just answer the prayers please.” He lovingly responds, “Lean into me, daughter, lean into me.”
When I listen and lean rather than resist, I find rest. I have the hope my heart craves. And (dare I say it?) I even discover joy.We tend to think what we need most is whatever we’re asking for in that moment. God knows what we really need is more of Him in every moment.'
HOPE is more than just a word—
it’s a state of being.
It’s a firm belief that
even if you don’t know how,
even if you don’t know when,
God will come through
and better days are ahead.
Life sends rain...
Hope dances in the puddles
until the sun comes out again.
How I wish i could believe what she does. Right now I sense God is shaking his head in despair.
Maybe its because I feel hopeless tonight.
