the gift of hope

No self-improvement technique on earth has the power to bring genuine and eternal hope into our lives. This can only be attained from one singular origin - our Lord Jesus Christ, who embodies our Resurrected Hope. Without a true, personal connection with Him and a dedicated pledge to prioritize Him in our lives, it becomes exceedingly challenging to lead a life filled with hope.

Delayed hope causes heartache. Without Jesus, not only our hearts but also our spirits, minds, and emotions suffer. Failing to live with hope from the Giver of Hope will only lead to helplessness and despair.

Be encouraged as you seek tranquility and solitude to engage in a candid conversation with God. Express your emotions freely. Let all the feelings that are troubling your heart come to the surface. Share them with God then grant God permission to infuse hope into those areas.

If you are willing to open your heart to the King and surrender everything, He will respond. He is the eternal gift-giver! He will unveil truths that may be painful but will guide you towards restoring hope. Genuine, organic, authentic, infallible hope.

In a world filled with uncertainty and challenges, holding onto hope can provide the strength and resilience needed to navigate through life's trials. It serves as a reminder that there is always a flicker of light even in the darkest of moments, guiding us towards a brighter tomorrow.

As you reflect on the true meaning of hope this Christmas, consider the impact of nurturing a deep connection with the Giver of hope. Allow yourself to be enveloped in the warmth of His love and the assurance of His promises. Trust in His plan for your life, knowing that every step is guided by His unwavering grace.

Embrace the gift of hope this Christmas, not just as a fleeting emotion but as a steadfast anchor for your soul. Let it illuminate your path, instill peace in your heart, and fill your life with purpose and meaning. May the hope found in Jesus Christ be your guiding light today and always.

Dear Father,

I need my Father to restore my hope. Take me to a place where I can feel immense hope, so I can rest on Your embrace and find solace. Unlock the door to the secret place in my heart stealing my hope. I am yearning for true hope. As I still myself and give You unrestricted access to every part of me, restore my hope. Thank you for bringing light into my darkness and guiding me toward hope and healing. Thank you for the priceless gift of hope this Christmas.  In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Below are scriptures to meditate on while you usher in the gift of Hope!

Life will be brighter than noonday, and darkness will become like morning. You will be secure, because there is hope; you will look about you and take your rest in safety. You will lie down, with no one to make you afraid, and many will court your favor. Job 11:17-19

Now may God, the inspiration and fountain of hope, fill you to overflowing with uncontainable joy and perfect peace as you trust in him. And may the power of the Holy Spirit continually surround your life with his super-abundance until you radiate with hope! 

Romans 15:13

But hope means that we must trust and wait for what is still unseen. For why would we need to hope for something we already have? So because our hope is set on what is yet to be seen, we patiently keep on waiting for its fulfillment. Romans 8:24-25

The eyes of the Lord are upon even the weakest worshipers who love him—those who wait in hope and expectation for the strong, steady love of God. God will deliver them from death, even the certain death of famine, with no one to help. Psalm 33:18-19

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.  1 Corinthians 13:6-7

Being trapped in learned helplessness can quickly result in feeling hopeless, which then reduces the drive needed for a satisfying life.

Existing without hope can seem like bearing a weight that taints your core being.

Allow hope to rise within you.

Hope beyond hope!

Never lose hope ~

Never!
