It isn\u2019t just a dream. There is nothing uncertain about <strong>hope <\/strong>rooted in Jesus Christ based on the promises found in His word. <strong>Hope<\/strong> placed in Christ will not waver and will not fail, no matter what the world throws at it. It is what keeps our faith alive, regardless of worldly outcome. It is a counter-cultural assurance that God will deliver His best, in His time, and in His way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">But sometimes <strong>hope<\/strong> has to be fought for &#8211; not in our strength, but in choosing to depend upon One who is Himself our ultimate <strong>Hope<\/strong>, who will never let us down. What He can do is limitless, but even if He doesn\u2019t, He is still good. The One who was, is, and is to come, will always be more than enough. We can find rest in that knowledge today, and purpose in knowing that He delights in those who put their<strong> hope<\/strong> in His unfailing&nbsp;love\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">When we realize God is ultimately in control and our lives are in His trustworthy hands, we can stop pushing our agenda. Instead of having a selfish, self-centered to-do list, we release our wants, dreams, and desires for something far greater\u2026 HIS! Life isn\u2019t about accomplishments but rather relationships: our relationship with Christ and our relationship with&nbsp;others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Big thanks to Rose for typing this for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Photo Credit Ezra Morley<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hope isn\u2019t just a wish.
