Hope.

When darkness comes,
Anxiety attacks,
Trials await,
Sadness overwhelms,
Stress hits,
And the brokenness hurts,
There is hope.

Hope.


Hope is watching the sun set and being confident that in 12 hours, that it will come up again.
That no matter how dark the night is,
the Light is coming.

The Light is coming.

Hope is watching God close door after door in your life, but still choosing to believe that He's not finished with you yet.

Hope is looking at the brokenness of your past and standing confident in the fact that our God is the one who redeems brokenness and creates beauty out of ashes.

It's choosing to believe there is a reason for the pain, the brokenness, in the hard seasons.


Hope is saying saying yes to His freedom even when the chains holding you back feel like they are unbreakable.

Hope is choosing to see and hold fast to His faithfulness in the midst of anxiety.

Hope leaves you in awe of His grace even in the midst of chaos.

Hope is choosing to look at the stump and believe that God will bring a shoot out of it.

Hope doesn't always make our problems and burdens disappear completely, Jesus never promised that. He did say,

"In this world you will have trouble but take heart for I have overcome the world." {John 16:33}

Because Hope is not dependent on circumstances but comes from the empty grave.

We can Hope because Jesus has already won.
Jesus is the Victory. We already know the outcome.  He wins.
There is a day when death will be no longer.
Sadness and heart break will no longer be felt.
Anxiety will cease to attack.
Brokenness will no longer define.

That day, we will stand in awe of our Hope. Our Savior. Our God.
Forever Free. Forever in awe.

So let Hope fill you, let it draw you to our Father who so desperately wants to remind you of His faithfulness.
