Throughout the day there has been one phrase that I just can't seem to get out of my head:
Endless Hope.
God has an endless capacity of hope for us. Endless....as in never ending. Ever. Ever. Ever. It feels good to think about, huh?
It's so easy for us to lose faith in ourselves and others. One bad day, and we feel like our world is ending. One hurtful secret that slipped out of a friend's mouth, and we no longer trust them. It's hard to have hope in those peers who seem to see the negative side of every situation, and it's hard to make ourselves see the positive side. But there always is; with a God who willingly sacrificed himself for us, how can there not be? Christ wasn't sent to die on a cross so that the world could remain dark. He came to bring light :)
Regardless of what we have done, are doing, and most likely will do in the future, God hopes. In fact, he has an endless capacity of it just for you. When you can't seem to resist the temptation dragging you down, God forgives. When you are running on empty, God provides. When you are singing joyfully, God listens in wonder. In all situations, God hopes.
And with that, I leave you with a verse very dear to my heart:
"Not only that, but we even boast of our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endurance, proven character, and proven character, hope, and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the holy Spirit that has been given to us." ~Romans 5:3-5
May you find comfort in God's endless hope, today and always. Peace!
