I love hope. When I feel down I can’t stay there long.\u00a0I’ll do anything to change up and scramble away from gloom.\u00a0I’m like a hope-addict<\/em>. Hope-filled people can offer such joy,\u00a0they are treasures from God!\u00a0Hope is life, like water to a plant… without it we’ll shrivel up.<\/p>\n

I have met far too many people who temporarily lost hope. At least I prayed it was only temporary. It \u00a0dawned on me that if I looked to anything<\/i> besides God Himself, my hope gets lost too. It starts to\u00a0rise and fall\u00a0<\/i>according to what is happening. How can we keep it steady?.<\/p>\n

Look to the Source:\u00a0May God, the Source of Hope, fill you with all Joy and Peace by means of your faith in Him, so that your hope will continue to grow by the power of the Holy Spirit.\u00a0<\/b><\/i>Romans 15:13<\/p>\n

Everything else will shift and change, only God stays the same. I can have full hope in God because He never changes.\u00a0God is Who He says He is <\/b>and can do all He says He can do!<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n
