Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord. Psalm 27: 14
Don't ever think that you or your circumstances won't change. You ARE growing and evolving every day you just don't see it yet.
Let none who trust and wait hopefully and look for You be put to shame, disappointed or let down. Psalm 25:3
The enemy wants us feeling like nobody cares and that we don't have purpose so we'll get depressed, because it's hard to bless others when we're depressed.
Why are you cast down, O my inner self? And why should you moan over me and be disquieted within me? Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall yet praise Him, who is the help of my sad countenance, and my God. Psalm 43:5
So as a reminder ...
- you ARE loveable
- God DOES care about you
- you DO make a difference
- you DO have lots to offer
... so hold your head high and BE HOPEFUL.
Father, thank You that those whose hope is in You won’t be disappointed. May You, the God of our hope, so fill us with all joy and peace in believing (through the experience of our faith) that by the power of the Holy Spirit we may abound and be overflowing and bubbling over with hope. In Jesus’ name, amen.
