“Call Me Hope”

 Lamentations 3:24

The LORD is my portion, says my soul,

Therefore I have hope in Him.  (NKJ)

     The biggest influence in my life that caused me to lose heart and assume a defeated position was the futility I felt in relying and hoping in this world to satisfy my needs, because it is unstable, out of control, and in flux—here today and gone tomorrow.  When I finally accepted that this short life had no lasting value, I decided to escape into the darkness and hide in my depression and defeat.  I now understand that Lord God allows many of us to reach this point of hopelessness in order to set the stage for His redeeming Truth that is desperately needed in our world .  And as I began to understand the absolutes truths about this life and its final outcome, it was obvious that my only hope was trusting in the ways that God provided for us; though His Word and the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Our infinite Savior is the only One who can save us from the dark endings of this wayward world. 

     Traveling through this life-journey by trusting in the absolute principles of our Lord God is the only way to live this short life.   But there is one absolute principle that stood out and gave me the most hope in my hopelessness, and that was knowing nothing would ever separate me from God’s love.  Once you know and believe in God’s unchanging Truth, my friends, your life-journey on this earth will no longer be lived in vain. Instead, you will enjoy a God-driven, purpose-filled life with glorious meaning and eternal value.  The living God is your best and only Hope, because He has prepared an awesome eternal life-journey for all those who call Him their Hope. 

                                            A Whisper of Hope

Put your Hope in Me…For when you do I will reside in the depths of your heart.  It is then that My Hope will begin to reign in you.  You will not find an ounce of lasting hope or peace in the world around you, in the circumstances you create, or in any human relationships you may acquire.  I Am your Hope.

1 Peter 1:21

Through Christ you have come to trust in God. 

And you have placed your faith and hope in God,

because He raised Christ from the dead and give 

Him great glory.  (NLT)

              I Am the LORD and I do not change!
