Hope is difficult to EMBRACE in the MIDST of Suffering

A Gift to Give This Christmas HOPE

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope! (Romans 15:13)

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not evil, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11)

Are you overflowing with Hope?

Hope deferred makes the heart sick…

We tend to put our FALSE HOPE in things we can SEE

People Possessions Power

FALSE HOPE is rooted in IDOLATRY

REAL HOPE is NOT Seen

REAL HOPE is an imperishable, undefiled, and unfading GIFT

REAL HOPE is an ANCHOR for the soul!

He is OUR HOPE and no one else can take HIS place!

It gives you strength to TRUST in God during your present sufferings

It allows you PATIENTLY to wait on God’s plan

It provides the CONFIDENCE for the future
