Psalm 147:11 The Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.

Have you lost hope for your situation?  Are you feeling as though things are just never going to change, and this is how things will always be?

I would like to encourage you today to put all of your hope in His unfailing love!  God loves you!  You cannot base His love on how you feel right now; you have to base His unfailing love on the Word of God!  Believe me, I am very familiar with life becoming so overwhelming that you feel as though you have been trampled and buried, and there’s just not much hope in the natural for anything ever being good again, but there’s always hope when you ground your hope in His love for you! God is faithful, and even though you cannot see all He is doing, you can trust that He is working it all out for good and to bring Him glory. Lift your head, and as we talked yesterday, remember who your God is! Nothing is impossible for Him! He is holy, and He is good all of the time! He sees it all, and He wants you to trust Him.

God is active every day in some way in our lives, but we are often too consumed with our struggles to see it.  Ask Him to show you what you can learn from all that is going on. We tend to grow the most in the storms, but He would love for us to draw close to Him every day, whether there’s a storm raging or the sun is shining on us. Take this time to draw close to Him by spending time reading your Bible and pouring your heart out in prayer.

If we can fully grasp the Love of God for us, it will build our Hope and Faith in Him!  It is vital to our walk with God to build our faith and hope in Him!  The Bible says, in Hebrews 11:6, “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”  We must have Hope to have faith, and our hope rests in the knowledge and understanding of the fullness of His love for us!

Whatever you are facing today, He knows, and He cares, and nothing is impossible with Him!  Put your hope and trust in Him!  Ask Him to help you understand His love for you!  Ask Him to help you truly personalize your relationship with Him instead of just thinking about God loving everyone, which He truly does, and accept the fact that He loves you!   He loves you, and He wants a closer walk with you!  Don’t miss out on another moment!  Dive in and ask Him to show you today how you can have a closer relationship with Him. He has a plan for your life, so why not get started today by spending more time with Him, allowing Him to fill you with His hope and love for you!
