So well said. I love that you point us back to the source of all hope: Jesus. If I put my hope in Him, I will never be disappointed — I may not understand everything but I know He is a good God — a good and kind Father. I like the book you quoted here. Reminds me of my husband’s story — which we titled, Finding Hope in the Darkest Places.

“Hope isn’t imprisoned by your past.” That is so good! Thank you for sharing. ♥

So good. Hope can seem dangerous and like what’s the use. But when we keep God in the picture we can see the good of other prospects. It seems there is a tension. Hoping for something and also saying thy will be done. I guess it is about being open to other possibilities and not feeling like nothing happened if it doesn’t turn out the way we imagined. I love your part about what lie are we telling our self concerning hope or things not turning out the way we hope they will.

Thank you for another wonderful book suggestion. I don’t think anyone has had as much influence on the length of my TBR list as you, Lisa! And I mean that is a good way! 🙂

Great food for thought for this Hope Lady. It helps me understand why some might reject hope. Love your perspective around developing God-based hope. Keep up the good work!!!

Thanks for this. I will be addressing the issue of why I’m afraid to hope and the lies about that I am believing.

That looks like a fantastic book and it’s exactly the inspiring stuff I love to read. I’ve always struggled with hope and can really appreciate the way you’ve laid it out here, Lisa. Thanks for the much-needed encouragement!
