Words to Live By... HOPE

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."  Romans 15:13

This verse is one of my absolute favorites.  It reminds me of the Source of hope and the condition for hope--as I trust in Him.  Even better, the hope He promises is unlimited by circumstances, offered to the brink of overflowing, and undergirded by joy and peace.  

No matter what you're in the middle of or facing in the future, the God of hope can help you handle it.

This week as you meditate on the Weekly Word to Live By: Hope, hold on to His promises.  You may even need to do a little spring cleaning in your closet of despair so you can make room for your new apparel:  joy, peace, and hope!  I just know they'll look good on you.  Best of all, when you look in the mirror, you'll see a reflection of Him!

Blessings abounding,
