The Gift of Hope
What is hope?
Hope is knowing that there is something in our future that makes everything we face today something more than what it appears.
A trial is an opportunity to grow
A loss is an opportunity to look forward
A betrayal is a chance to forgive
A failure is a reminder that I need God
The Christian Hope is that God loves us and has provided a way for us to be saved.
It is one of the gifts that comes wrapped in Christmas.
Our hope is bound in the life of the baby Jesus.
