In light of the past week, a lot of questions have been asked, a lot of hearts have been searching for an answer as to the ways of this world! One question that came to my heart to sum up all these searching hearts was "Where is our HOPE?!!"
Is our hope in people? is our hope in a government? is our hope in laws? is our hope in our financial security? is our hope in our career?
where are we putting our hopes, dreams, and desires? wherever it is, will greatly result and directly affect how we react in the situations and circumstances in life, whether they are good or bad!
this last sunday at church my pastor made a great statement of "man cannot solve man's problem." the heart of the problem is indeed the heart of everyman and man can't solve the problem of the heart! and this is where I answer the question, "where is our HOPE?"
we have one hope and one hope only and that is Christ!! Only Christ can enter in and change a heart as it says in Ezekiel 11:19 and 2 Corinthians 5:17 "I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh.", " therefore, if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" what a sweet promise and truth! The truth is that the reality of this world is harsh, yet the reality of Christ is HOPE, JOY, LOVE, and PEACE!!! Our call is to love what is difficult to Love, just as Jesus did and still does! The gospel is the hope of the world! Remain in Him, by putting your hope in Him and the cares, worries, and burdens of this world will be lifted up!
One of my prayers for you and I is in Luke 24:25 and Hebrews 3:13 that the Lord would open our minds so that we could understand the scriptures and draw nearer to Him and that we would encourage one another daily so that we might not be hardened by sin's deceitfulness ! I love you all so much! Go out today and love on others and be blessed!!!
