Without hope in Christ people are aimless, lonely, unfulfilled, & without joy..
When a person reads and understands the Word of God they can know for certain that they have a secure future, for God will never allow us to suffer beyond our own capabilities to handle it..
Hope does not deny the reality of our pain, but it gives us a life beyond it..
Hope is the confidence that Jesus loves us & will work out a solution to our crisis..
Hope gives us the permission to believe in a new beginning..!
“But those who wait for the LORD [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] will gain new strength and renew their power; They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun]; They will run and not become weary, They will walk and not grow tired….” (Isaiah 40:31)

But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. —1 Corinthians 1:27. The Cross
