I know there are some situations in our lives that we think perhaps, just perhaps hope and love will not be enough. I know for one that it is in my nature to always be hopeful about certain situations in my life. Don't get me wrong, I have my off days where I will be certain that I won't make it. Those thoughts come to each and one of us, there is not escaping however it is our duty to move forward and not let those thought empower our lives. Recently I have been reading and hearing alot about the power of the tongue and how it can impact our lives, positively or negatively. I know that I along with you have had had our moments where we wondered if hope would be enough to get us through certain situations in life. We I chose to not wonder but believe. That is the gift of hope, we have choices in our lives. We can chose to wonder, or believe that it will happen.
Yes, let's face it some situations are not going to happen but remember the essence of hope. A friend shared with us yesterday a truth to hope. Why hope on something we already have? The amazingness of this hope we hold on to so tight is that we are somehow giving a guarantee that because of our continious belief that GOD will take care of our problems, we are at peace. That brings me to this, what is peace? Is it knowing that things will be okay? Or seeing a problem resolved? I know that i tend to lose sight of the true meaning of peace, because I get caught up in the problem. I am learning as we all are, that because I have peace I trust that all is going to be okay and things will change. You see in order for us to see the wonderful results of hope we must believe. So don't just assume that because you are hopefull things will magically happen. Every change, every event, every situation in life requires some belief in our part. Remember faith without works is dead. So whether or not you see the change in your life, you have to believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that it shall happen. When left with nothing to say, in those moments of dispair don't let the situation control the outcome of the moment. Take a moment to shut down and just listen and pray. It is only then that peace will come to us, because we continue to believe despite what we see.
From my heart.
