Comments(8) Dear Friends,
I have a question for you. What are you hoping for? What are you expecting in life? Are you looking for something good to happen or are you expecting to be disappointed? So many people are feeling hopeless these days. However, Jesus did not die for us to be hopeless. He died so that we could be full of hope.
What is hope? It’s simply a favorable and confident expectation; it’s looking forward with anticipation of something good. Hope is what keeps us from giving up during hard times.
The psalmist wrote, [What, what would have become of me] had I not believed that I would see the Lord’s goodness in the land of the living! (Psalm 27.13). What if we were to give up today.
Our Father is good, and He has good plans for each of our lives. If we will maintain our hope, especially in the midst of troubled and uncertain times, He has promised us “double for our trouble” (see Zechariah 9:12).
So refuse to give up hope. Start expecting God to do something–something good!! He is working in your life. Sure you may go through times when you wonder will things ever change. But that’s what hope is all about. Maintain an attitude of expectancy. Believe that God is working. It doesn’t cost you anything to hope, but it can cost an awful lot to be hopeless.
There’s power in hope!!!

I just had to share this buddys. Joyce Meyer is such an amazing part of my life. I’ve enjoyed her sermons for years now and I’m so happy to see so many others here at BuddySlim enjoy her words.
Love you here…remember when times are tough…God is right there holding our hands. We WILL reach the other side…We WILL become healthy once again!!!
Love and happiness to all here.
