THE CYCLE OF HOPE

HAVE YOU EVER GOT WHAT YOU HOPED FOR? Have you ever got what you prayed for? Can you remember a time in your life when there was no hope? When you couldn't see a way out. It looked hopeless and then a nail scarred hand reached to the depths of your despair and lit a small flame of hope and it grew and grew. It started dispelling the darkness and hope was born. Then the victory came....demons fled ...faith grew... Hope was now all you could see. Then you got what you hoped for. What happens now? Well I will tell you. God has written your destiny of hope in Romans 5......Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: by whom we also have access by faith unto this grace wherein we stand and rejoice in the HOPE of the glory of God. ( and then he says the strangest thing) And not only so, but we glory in tribulation also: knowing that tribulation worketh patients: and patients, experience(character) and experience hope...... So there we have it the cycle of hope.......first comes suffering, then patients which builds character which brings hope..... And hope maketh not ashamed.... Aren't you glad the suffering always ends in hope. Praise His Holy Name...... Take the life of David a man after God's own heart... He killed a lion... Then he got a bear and then he got Goliah then King Saul and then his very own son. Each suffering victory ended in the hope of glory... I heard a preacher say when ever we are exiting a season of our life and enter into a new season God will always send us a Goliah but though we tend too think Goliah is a wall...... he is actually the door to our next season. Isn't that a good word filled with HOPE! I love you God Bless Linda
