Imparting Hope Not Harm
This is a difficult world, and God allows challenges and obstacles to come into our life to teach us perseverance.
What difficult circumstances are you currently facing?
Do you believe the truth of Romans 15:13?
God has the gift of hope for you in the midst of your season of despondency.
Trust in him and ask the Spirit to fill you with hope as you trust in him.
look beyond what’s currently happening in your life and see the light at the end of the tunnel.
In the Greek, the meaning of hope is expectation of what is sure.
This meant that God was the God of what we can be sure of.
He is not peddling false hope and shallow words of encouragement.
Whereas life, people, and outcomes are all unpredictable, God can be trusted.
He offers words of life when we are in despair.
As bad as things get, there is still hope.
... Our mission is transformed lives demonstrated by passion for God
Like seasons, we will all eventually find ourselves in a valley, a season of despondency.
Sometimes we are able to rebound quickly, sometimes we are left with the lingering feelings of despair.
And when the circumstances of our lives prompt discouragement to link arms with the past, it can feel impossible to overcome.
Thus, we may find ourselves plunging deep into hopelessness.
This was the place I found myself.
I was discouraged.
I had been here before, but this time was different.
I had prayed the same prayer for years.
Though I longed for resolution my prayers went unanswered.
It would be a tragedy to have the promise of overflowing joy and peace and not take hold to it because of a refusal to trust in God.
God wants to be our protector, provider, and defender, I want to emphasizes the power of God and how no mountain is too high for Him to overcome.
“And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.” Romans 5:5
ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER.
BE KIND.
BE FLEXIBLE!
CARRY THE LOAD FOR EACH OTHER.BE PATIENT.
PRAY FOR EACH OTHER.
Belgium drafted guidelines which will extend physician-assisted suicide to not only people with terminal illnesses, but those with mental disorders.
Did you catch that?
Not a terminal illness, but a psychiatric illness!
Under these new guidelines, basically, doctors are empowered to determine whether a person’s hopelessness is enough to warrant an assisted suicide.
A person doesn’t even need a diagnosed medical or psychiatric condition.
He simply has to be despairing of life, or feel as though life’s not worth living – a doctor can then take steps to verify that, and then legally fulfill the person’s death wish.
Let’s roll up our sleeves and share Christ’s hope with despairing people we know/ Let’s come alongside people struggling against depression, and help them discover that life is worth living.
