Despite God’s promises, Christ’s love, and our countless blessings, we can still lose hope from time to time. When we do, we need the encouragement of Christian friends, the life-changing power of prayer, and the healing connection of God’s Holy Words.  Even though this world can be a place of trials and struggles, God has promised us peace, joy, and eternal life if we give ourselves to Him. And God keeps His promises today, tomorrow, and forever. May our lives be filled with “the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for us in Heaven”- Colossians 1:5
