From John 16:33: “I have said this to you, so that in me you may have peace. In the world you face persecution. But take courage; I have conquered the world!”
Where can mankind find lasting hope?
Living each day without much joy
Peace and hope absent from life’s scope
Searching under every rock
Calmness found in elusive hope
Falling into Enemy’s traps
Darkness clouds life’s kaleidoscope
Overcome with discouragement
God’s love endures with living hope
Life’s tribulations never win
Our Father promises lasting hope
Christ fulfills Bible’s prophecies
Faith fuels hope, ascending life’s slope
Tireless Holy Spirit at work
Opens doors by way of God’s Word
Building and strengthening our faith
Life’s fresh discovery, hope stirred
Turning sorrow into joy . . . Rejoice!
Ask the Father in Jesus’ name
Guiding with righteousness and truth
Faith nourishes hope, now aflame
From the words of American evangelist and Christian author, Bill Bright: “Without the certainty of His resurrection, we would come to the end of this life without hope, with nothing to anticipate except despair and doubt.”
“God’s love endures with living hope.” That says it all!
