Forum 7B- Hope in Hard Times

Today, I want to talk about hope. It can be a slippery little thing, and hard to hold on to. But I don't need to go into detail on that. We've all had days and weeks and maybe even years when having hope is a struggle. Sometimes, we may even lose hope for a while.

But one thing that we can hang on to in difficult times is the knowledge that God loves us and that He wants the best for us. Knowing and understanding the strength of God's infinite, everlasting love is important for our everyday lives, but especially for the times when hope is fading. Because knowing that God loves you can help you hang on to enough hope to get by. 

Believing that God loves you and has a purpose and direction for your life helps you to trust in Him and to hope in the future. It can take great faith but the most hope and greatest comfort can come from trusting "that he will yet deliver us" (2 Corinthians 1:10). Because He will. He always will. The timing will be His, which means that you may have to wait longer than you'd like, but He will always assist you in the way that will do you the most good.

God loves you. He has a plan for your happiness and He has plans to give you blessings. He loves you so much. He will always be there to help you and He is someone that you can always rely on. Don't give up hope. He will always be there.
