Hope

Romans 15:13
May God, the source of hope , fill you with all joy and peace by means of your faith in him ,so that your hope will continue to grow by the power of the Holy spirit.

Hope ,the God of hope will fill you with joy and peace 
 What is hope?
-Hope is keeping faith .
But you will say then what does it mean to have faith?
- faith is simply believing in the unseen 

So keeping faith and having hope are two different things but they are also followed by each other .
Thought we all know that faith in God is when you don't see things going in the right way,but since you keep faith you have hope.

-Hope is the fullness of joy and peace 

Having hope, in a heart wrenching situation and getting filled with peace and joy is beyond our wildest dreams.
Thats the truth who will look at a situation in which someone is facing a big loss in life,facing financial problems,facing times of stress and many more things and say I know I am going to overcome this , this thing will end and experience the fullness of peace and live his life in joy.

Well it's because that person is not looking at the situation but he is believing that the result will be victorious.
That is hope mixed with faith 
When you are placing your hope in Jesus and believing for the things unseen then you are depending on God ,you are depending on this mighty power and His ability to do all things.

Their will  be times when you will face many hardships ,many dark times .

But placing hope in Jesus will give you peace and joy .
You will feel that overflow of joy and peace in you, even in the dark times you will be able to feel that saving and abiding presence of God all around you .


-Walking in the valley.
Psalm 23:4
Even if I go through the deepest darkness I will not be afraid ,lord ,for you are with me.
Your shepherd's rod and staff protect me .

Here in this verse we read about the psalmist (david) who is saying that 'even if he goes through dark times he will not be afraid because he is placing his hope in the lord'
 He is not looking at the darkness the valley contains .but he is keeping his Hope in the light which is with him all the time and in the same way we have to place our hope in the light which is Jesus .

-Growth through the spirit 
When you place your hope in the lord ,you give the Holy spirit a way to do His work.
He will make you feel comfortable ,give you new revelation ,give you strength to endure the situation and you will see your growth in him ,you will be filled with joy and peace .

Prayer 

Father I come to your presence and 
 I pray for the one reading this ,father I don't know what this person is going through  but father bless him/her and give them your hope.
In Jesus mighty name -
Amen

Thank you for reading.

LOVE FOR HE LOVED US FIRST. THIS IS WHAT LOVE IS; IT IS NOT THAT WE HAVE LOVED GOD, BUT THAT HE LOVED US AND SENT HIS SON TO BE THE MEANS BY WHICH OUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN. 1 JOHN 4:10 Love is not  that we have loved God but He loved us first. For He choose us even before we came into this w orld because He loved us,  He has called us by our name because He loves us,  Even though we were in are deepest sin, we are still loved by Him. He doesn't looks at us with anger but with love, and says "I LOVE YOU".  For the love of God was manifested in the form of His son, Christ  Jesus, who came into the world and gave His life on the cross, so that who-so-ever may believe in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. He sent Him to not judge us but to save us because He loved us. for the light came into the world to save people from the darkness but still people did not come to the light, God sent the light to this world because He loved the people who were in the the dar...
