THE GOD OF HOPE!

Hello! It was great to get away and visit my parents in warm Florida. It was great to be able to go outside and walk for miles and enjoy God's wonderful creation. I would walk over some bridges and I would see dolphins and other animals, even an alligator. It was great to get some good R and R., but the saying is true, it is good to be home.

I was journaling this morning from Romans 15 and the Lord spoke to me out of Romans 15:13 - "So I pray that God, who gives you hope, will keep you happy and full of peace as you believe in Him. May you overflow with hope through the power of the Holy Spirit."

I want to encourage you and pray for you today, that God is the only One who can give us hope in hopeless situations. We are living in a day when we need to stay connected to the Hope Giver, so that we can give Hope to others. When I have real hope, then I will be HAPPY AND HAVE PEACE. Happiness does not come from things but comes from genuine hope, and when I am happy, I will also have peace with God, with other people and with myself. Paul prayed that they would overflow with HOPE.

I pray that no matter what you are going through today, you will overflow with the Hope that comes from the Holy Spirit!

Good to be back!
