My Name is Hope.

“Waiting is refusing to take over while refusing to give up. Waiting refuses self-rescue.”

“Hope waits. Hope is the refusal to demand heaven now.”

“Faith looks back to the past recalling God’s mighty works. Hope looks ahead remembering God’s coming reward.”

“In Christ, loss is never final. Christ’s resurrection is the first-fruit of every resurrection.”

“Faith understands that what can’t be cured, can be endured.”

“Crying out to God empties us so there is more room in us for God.”

“Faith does not demand the removal of suffering; faith desires endurance in suffering.”

“In suffering, God is not getting back at you; He is getting you back to Himself.”

“Faith is entrusting myself to God’s larger purposes, good plans, and eternal perspective.”

“Worship is wanting God more than wanting relief.”

“Worship is finding God even when you don’t find answers.”

“Worship is walking with God in the dark and having Him as the light of your soul.”

“Every problem is an opportunity to know God better, and our primary battle is to know God well.”
