This is the verse that I wrote on our
kitchen’s chalkboard for this month.
To be honest, I found this cute print
on Pinterest and it was easily copied to my chalkboard.
This verse has continued to be a
great reminder in this New Year.
The dictionary’s definition of HOPE is
a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen.
Moms, how often do you have hope?
I know that every night before I fall
asleep I HOPE my children will sleep in past 6:30.
As I prepare their breakfast I HOPE
that they eat it and that is last longer than 15 minutes, before the inevitable
question “May I have a snack?”
I HOPE that they play well, share
their toys, and love each other throughout the day.
I HOPE that they have compassion for
others. I HOPE that they choose joy.
I could go on and on….and I’m sure
you could too.
I believe that I will always HOPE the
best for them, isn’t that what moms do?
But you know what is GREATER than our
hope as moms?
The HOPE that is found in Jesus.
The word HOPE is found in the bible
over 120 times…must be important!
In the Bible, HOPE is the confident expectation, the sure
certainty that what God has promised in the Word is true.
Hope is synonymous with Salvation and
the many blessings with it.
Romans 8:24-25 For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for
why does one also hope for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not
see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.
Today, rest in the fact that He is
our one and only HOPE…no matter how easy or hard your days are.
Go ahead and write this promise in
your journal, or your bathroom mirror, or your own chalkboard.
