Real Hope for You

Hope comes to the heart burdened with an impossible situation. Real hope brings good news for you. Yes, God cares. He welcomes your call for help. God gives real hope to encourage and comfort you. "Now hope does not disappoint" (Romans 5:5). Real hope does not disappoint, because God alone is your hope.

Hope comes not alone to those who know pain and sorrow. Hope is sure to bring faith. It is faith that teaches those in pain and sorrow to trust God, even when they don't understand. Faith and hope introduce one who is greater. He is love. "God is love" (1 John 4:8). Love cares about pain. Love comforts those who sorrow. Faith receives hope and love. "And now abide faith, hope, and love, these three; but the greatest of these is love" (1 Corinthians 13:13). Real hope for you is in God's love.

God is able to put faith, hope, and love in your heart, through the Spirit of Christ. May the Holy Spirit fill you with God's love today, that you may show love from God by loving others, through Jesus  our Lord. That's the way you can give real hope to others.

Let the Spirit of God love others through you. Hopeless people are found everywhere. They need to discover real hope, because God cares for them. Let your faith, hope, and love encourage and comfort them. God transforms people from a hopeless condition to know real hope.
