Hope.

My mom has a devotional book called "Jesus Lives" and I will read it whenever I see it lying around. The author writes these amazing devotionals that have so much truth in them. They are like little letters from God full of truth and hope...and a letter that makes you smile :-)

It seems like every one I read, it gets to the heart of what I am going through...

This one is entitled, "Hope."

"Though difficulties abound in this world, rejoice that I am ever present with you. I can enable you to cope with any and all circumstances, strengthening you as you look trustingly in Me. No matter how hopeless your situation may seem, I assure you that all things are possible with me.

I am the Truth, and therefore I am true to all My promises. They provide a rock-solid foundation on which you can live and move and have your being. Since I am the living Word, affirming your trust in My promises is a excellent way to draw near Me. As you bask in the beauty of My Presence, you may find yourself wanting to praise Me. Do not restrain that holy impulse; instead give it voice. While you are worshipping Me, new hope will grow within you. Hope in Me, for you will again praise Me for the help of My Presence."

It's important to remain hopeful in hard times. We must remember we have God's promises to lean on; He never fails us.

The little letters from God. Always uplifting and always good.
