Being faithful is a noble feat, but great men and women have had their faith tested and tried. Being faithful is not always easy.Faith is built on hope, ” Faith is the substance of things hope for, the evidence of things not seen” (Heb 11:1). Being hopeful is often dependent on circumstances. Hey most of us are hopeful that things are going to turn out okay when we are 99.99% certain, but given a 50/50 chance or hope seesaws between fulfillment and disappointment.
Faith and Hope are concepts that cannot be separated, Hope can be thought about as the fuel and faith the fire. Our faith is what people see, but we act on faith because we are hopeful. OKay Okay. I’ll Stop. What’s the point.
The Take Away
I am not sure what you are believing God to do in your life. Our situations are often 50/50, but we have a God that tilts the seesaw in our favor. Remember,”all things work together for Good to them that Love God and are called according to God’s Purpose”. If you are certain that God cannot fail. Keep Hope Alive and Act as if the thing you are hoping for has already come to past.
Remember God is Greater Than You Circumstance. Build Your Hope On GOD.

You’ve made it half way through the week and you have already broken some of the promises that you made to yourself and God. Instead of having a pity party. Look at the situations and circumstances that lead you to fall short. After you have evaluated your shortcomings, ask God to fill the Gap between where you are now and where you wish to be. One Final Thing no MATTER what KEEP PUSHING.
Lord Give Me the Strength to Finish Strong!

Holding on to hurts causes us to live the pain over and over. Lord, may I forgive so that I may heal
Daily Words of Hope
First Corinthians Chapter 13 talks about love in a very descriptive manner, the apostle Paul characterizes love in many ways, patient, kind, long suffering, nonjudgmental, but even the apostle Paul was unable to define love with one word. But let’s say that we know that love at its minimum is patient, kind and nonjudgmental.
From the children’s hymn we know that Jesus loves us but we often view God as this mean person judging us from afar, who uses every opportunity to scold us, but if God loves us, then we should find peace knowing that God is patient, kind and long suffering.
Sometimes it is hard for us to think of God as loving because we encounter people in our lives that represent everything but a loving spirit, but we should not let these people dictate our views of God, self and humanity.
God’s love for us is patient kind and long suffering, simply God will stick with you even when you feel Unlovable. God’s patient Love shouldn’t be an excuse to live lives that’s hurt others and ourselves. Be wise don’t take advantage of God’s love. We shouldn’t live good lives, because of fear only. Yes, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom but not the end.
As Paul stated the greatest of all is Love. Live right because you Love God, yourself and others. Push forward regardless of your mistakes because you understand that God’s love is patient and one mistake wouldn’t cause God to give up on you.
The Takeaway
Love is Powerful; use its power to live a better life.

Trust in Him who will not leave you
Whatsoever years may bring
If by earthly friends forsaken
Still more closely to him cling
But you’ve got to hold
As the timeless words of the hymn “Hold to God’s Unchanging Hand” assures us that we have a friend that will be there with us at all times. We only have one responsibility, “HOLD ON”. Lord give me the strength hold on to your unchanging hand’s even when letting go seems easier. (Min Mike)
