Hope!
If you have ever been through anything tough, or if you have ever been hurt. It is difficult to hope again. Hope is what sustains us. If we don't have hope then we don't have much of a chance.
Proverbs 13:12 in the New Living Translation statest, "Hope deferred makes the heart sick." That is it! It is just that simple when our hopes are crushed we get sick on the inside. The Message says it this way, "Unrelenting disappointment leaves you heartsick."
Is that the way you have felt? Have your hopes been dashed? Have you hoped about something and then it fell through? It makes us sick inside.
But...
Prov 13:12 contiues in the message, "but a sudden good break can turn life around" or in the NLT, "but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life." Allow God to renew your hope. Scipture also tells us that our "hope will not be disappointed."
"In his name the nations will put their hope." If He can be the hope to the nations, then He can be your hope!
