A few encouraging thoughts for you…

Signs of Hope is the title of my book, but what does it mean? It is very hard sometimes to find signs of any hope. There are wars going on. People are staving all over the world. Still others are suffering with the HIV virus. What can we be thankful for? where are the signs of hope?

The word hope can be broken down to give us some thoughts on the subject:

H- He is risen, and now we can have eternal life because of Him.

O- Only those who believe have peace and hope. They know that even after all the adversity we have to go through there is a place we will call home, that has no pain, or adversity.

P- Perseverance, and persistence are two of my favorite words. When we have both of those there aren’t any walls that can hold us, or keep us from God.

E- Everyone has an inheritance from God that believes. No one can ever take that away from you. You have a room prepared for you in heaven.

So HOPE is everywhere. Hope is in the sky; it is the hearts of many believers.; it is on the cross.

Don’t be discouraged about what is happening in our world. We are not part of this world. We are aliens, and strangers. Heaven is our future home. Be ready to spend eternity there with God.

Remember:

You are not alone.

You are not forsaken.

You are not unloved.

Above all…Never, ever, give up.
