Blessed Hope

Hope is a springboard from which we rise up...
The promise of newness and reaching our goal.
When hope is in God we have a full cup
Waiting and ready to make our lives whole.

In God our hope is not vague...it is real...
As we lean in trust to see His hand move,
His goodness and power and might to reveal,
All of our doubts or fears to disprove.

We’re not alone when hope is in place,
For God hears our prayers and comes alongside.
We then can rest and lean on His grace,
Knowing in all things that He will provide.

“For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.”
Romans 8:24-25 KJV
