Have Hope

 

    To have hope you have to speak truth into your life.  Talk to yourself, so that you do not fall for Satan's lies.  Test what you believe to God's Word and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any lies that you are believing.  Recognize the lies, so you can reject them and retell the narrative in truth.  Repeat as often as needed until you really believe it.

    What you speak to your soul matters.  Emotions will only make you tired.  They are important, but not so much when it comes to your mindset and making decisions.  You need God's hope to help you in those areas and confident and energized.  It all begins with salvation and grows as you mature as a true Christian.

    Jesus is your hope that gets you salvation.  The Holy Spirit is your living hope that lives in your soul.  God is the father and creator of hope.  Hope is what keeps you going when the world tells you that you have nothing left.  Hope guides you through the darkness.  It gives you purpose.  It will lead you to security, rest, serenity, and triumph.  

    Your hope will look differently in your life than my hope looks in my life.  That is good.  That means it is personalized to fit the individual's need.  As your faith grows, so does your hope.  If you speak harshly to yourself, then you hope will shrink.  Speak truth without putting God in a box because that only limits what you can experience in life.  

    You can experience horrible things in life, but with hope you can overcome them.  You don't have to live in a mental prison.  Break free and and clean out the mental closet to have freedom.  If you put your hope in God, then it will never be misplaced.  You can depend on Him.  Your soul holds hope in God, the Word, and promises of His love.

    Hope will give you strength and renew your life.  Doing life on your own will only exhaust and crush you.  No one is strong enough to do life on their own.  You need the people God places in your life and you need Him.  Make your mind and soul unshakeable by believing the truth of God.
