Hope

 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: Romans 5:3-4


Well, there was a word I was feeling a lot those days. Going through tribulation was surely what it felt like to me. A feeling of suffering was what the dictionary had said it meant. And yep, that pretty much described me.

But why? If I should have been feeling a sense of peace, why was I experiencing fear. Because even though we will go through times of suffering even as Christians, I should not have been fearing hell at the end of this life. I should have been feeling the peace of knowing that when I die, no matter what I go through here on earth, I would be in heaven with God. I had believed that from the time I gave my heart to Jesus in the car that night long before, with my dad.  What made me think differently now. What had changed?

I knew my answer was still ahead. But when would I find it? 

From that passage, I saw that I needed to be patient and a bit of that hope began to come in. Hope I so desperately needed.

 Hello, Friends. Thanks for coming by today. Hope is something we all need. Especially with all the craziness in this world, we are living with today. There is so much fear. Fear of this virus going around. Fear of loss of jobs, homes, and even life. It exists even in the lives of those that serve God. We sometimes tend to forget, that he is overall that is going on and while we are to be cautious, we need not fear. Because he is with us. Have a blessed day!
