The God of hope

Romans 15:13 "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." There is a God of hope.  He is the Lord Jesus Christ.  As our faith in Him grows,  we can experience joy and peace. From joy and peace comes hope.  We rejoice because He is always with us.  We gain peace as we relax knowing that He causes all things to work together for our good.  His Holy Spirit fills us so that we overflow with hope, and our hope spills onto others .   Hope strengthens us so that   we can refuse to give up and we can refuse to give in to fear, hatred, anger, and doubt. 
     I have a sweet, precious,  friend who rose from stage 4 breast cancer to healing and wholeness because of her hope and faith in Jesus Christ.  Let her light be an example of the fruits of hope.  Let us rejoice with her and always give God praise for the miracles that He performs on our behalf.
