Hebr 11:1 (ESV) Now faith is the assurance of things HOPEd for, the conviction of things not seen Rom 12:12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Rom 8:24-25 For in this HOPE we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we HOPE for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience. Psalm 39:7 Now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in You. Psalm 119:114 You are my hiding place & my shield; I hope in your word. Rom 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy & peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in HOPE.— Our HOPE must be in the Lord & His word! Hope in Him opens the door to joy, peace & love, for we have been saved! Our HOPE comes from the Lord, for He first loved us, He died for us, & now His spirit lives on the inside of us! That is worth rejoicing over! May our HOPE abound! Love Mel
