HOPE

Hope is the confident expectation of good. Hope is the anchor for your soul. Worldly hope is just wishful thinking, but hope in Me will shield your emotions from experiencing depression, oppression, and all kinds of emotional upheavals. Your emotions can be compared to the waves of the sea that are troubled when storms arise. When the storms of financial, relational, and other difficulties cause your soul to be troubled, drop the anchor of hope in Me. When you do this, the waves of adversity will not be able then to pull you under.

I am your hope. There are so many things you can hope for when you put all of your trust in Me. You can hope that the day will come when you will have a resurrected body free from disease and sickness. The day will come when you will see Me face to face and you will know Me as you have never known Me while you traveled your journey on Earth. The day will come when you will again see those who left life's journey before you.

Hope in Me is also a refuge that you can run to when the troubles in this world increase and they will increase in these last days. Hope in Me dispels all fear and hope in Me gives you the full assurance that I accept you just the way you are. While you were yet a sinner, I died for you to provide the robe of righteousness that you wear daily. Yes, there will be days when you fail to drop your anchor of hope in Me, but rest assured that My Spirit will remind you to look to Me and He will give you the strength to throw the anchor of hope in Me once again.
