THE POWER OF HOPE



Do you want to be happy?

"Being happy doesn’t have anything to do with the size of your problems. Being happy has everything to do with the size of your hope. And that’s what you receive from God..."

"..The last chapter of your life has been written, and it has a happy ending..."

Obviously, you have to choose this happy ending.

It won’t happen if you don’t choose it.

But my point is that it’s available.

You can have a happy future.

The Power Of Hope To Bless Your Life

Hope is underrated.

The Bible says that between faith, hope, and love, love is the most important thing in the world. And I agree.

And faith? It’s essential to salvation.

So where does hope come in? A nice third class bonus.

They also say that in Heaven, you don’t need hope anymore.

But that’s precisely the point: We’re not yet in Heaven. (Just to check, pinch yourself. If you experience pain, you’re not yet there.)

On planet earth, hope is crucial for survival.

In fact, it’s crucial for any kind of success.

Do You Have More Problems

When You Grow Closer To God?

One day, Pablo asked me, “Bo, why is it that when I grew closer to God, I now have more problems. Is this a test from God? Or is this harassment from the devil?”

I told him, “Neither. I believe you’re experiencing a normal life. Because problems are a part of life. I believe you’ll have problems whether you’re near to God or far from God. Your choice is this: Will you go carry your problems with hope or will you carry your problems without hope?”

Pablo almost shouted, “With hope!”

MyThoughts:

Another proof that God has provided everything we need in order to survive this planet. We just need to claim them and believe in them... HOPE IS ONE OF THEM. He knows that in our journey thru life we'll be encountering problems of all shapes and sizes and that is also the reason why He sent us a handy 3-in 1 survival package - Jesus Christ - "Faith, Hope and Love" all rolled into one.
