"I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit." - Romans 15:13
It’s hard to believe in something you can’t see, much less draw hope from it. God knows that, and in His great wisdom and mercy, He sent us Jesus. One of the main reasons God sent Jesus to earth was to give us hope. Jesus was sent to show us exactly who God is and that we can put our hope in Him – hope in His provision for today and in His promises for tomorrow.
Hope is meant to be experienced and not just defined. Hope is trust in action. Hope is the thing that can make you smile when nothing else can. In the midst of even the darkest time or circumstance, hope gives you a reason to carry on. God leaving the splendor of heaven to come and be with us – and ultimately giving Himself to save us. That’s great hope. That’s hope we can trust in!
Merry Christmas from the MyBridge family.
