despair....................

dusti and i have been watching the series....anne of green gables....an interesting quote was said in one of the videos and it has stayed with me for years when i watched it with my older girls....aunt mirilla said, "to despair is to turn your back on God". strong statement....so i thought i would comment on that today. i find myself the older i get that there is going to be situations ALL the time that can steal your joy and hope in the Lord. the question is are you going to let that happen, because we do have the power by the Holy Spirit NOT to let that happen. i looked up in the dictionary the word "despair" .......one definition says it all......to be without hope; to give up all hope or expectation; to loose confidence in; to deprive of hope;..........strong words girls......i want you to turn you face to the Lord today and worship, praise and thank Him for all He is and does on our behalf. despair is not an option for me.......my hope is in the Lord in all things.......even loses.......even tradgedy and disappoint..........even triumphs and victories........where is your hope today.........in what you see?............or who He was and is and is to come!!!!!!!!!! have a hopeful and victorious day, girls..................it is always your choice!!!! i choose life today...........how about you??!!!!!
my hope is in the Lord
now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen
it is impossible to please without faith
But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love.

have a hopeful and glorious day!!!!!!
