Hope

I've been thinking about hope a lot lately. God has spoken some things to my heart which are still in my future. God's word is true and God is faithful. I have hope that despite transition, feeling a bit lost, and struggling to find my place that God is in control. I know that we win and that eternal joy awaits me. The picture of the ending helps me push through the present. I've realized I need to embrace God's promises with faith. I know that it will take patience and only hope can help generate the faith and love I need for this journey. God's love brings us to the valley so that we can know the joy of the mountain top. Yet as I travel further through life through more valleys and more mountain tops I begin to realize something. Our joy is in who travels with us. Thank you Emmanuel, God with me, Christ inside of me, Holy Spirt who guides me. I have hope, glory of Christ in me! Freedom!
