Even though your heart is breaking and tears are clouding your eyes and staining your cheeks, God does give us something worth trusting in tough times. And that's Him, and Him alone.
When your heart is breaking, you can place your hope and trust in the Lord. Even though you feel alone.
It took me time to realize that I couldn't count on people around me for anything. Friends failed me, church people were more antagonistic than satan himself and my family members were highly insensitive and unapologetic cruel to me and my children. It got to a stage where the pains that came from the disappointments from these set of people was even more that the pains of the loss of my husband.
If you are blessed enough to have supportive relatives and friends, I really thank God for you.
"Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD" (Psalm 31:24).
Biblical hope is absolute confidence in something you haven't seen or received yet, but you're absolutely confident that whatever God has said is going to come to pass.
Jesus is your hope for the future. One day Jesus Christ will come back, and He will set all of the wrong right. Good will triumph over the bad. Love will triumph over hate. Righteousness will triumph over evil. He's going to make it right, and you can have absolute confidence that that's going to take place.
That's your hope.
PRAYER
Sovereign God, I choose hope. I choose faith. I choose life. Give me an unshakable faith in You. Amen.
