Hope for Hopelessness!

I have been encouraged by the Lifegiver! With the bad news of an economic depression most people are being tormented with fear.

Today I don't have sad news for you. I have GLAD NEWS!

Listen to these words from the Lifegiver in The Message:

Though the cherry trees don't blossom and the strawberries don't ripen, Though the apples are worm-eaten and the wheat fields stunted, Though the sheep pens are sheepless and the cattle barns empty, I'm singing joyful praise to God. I'm turning cartwheels of joy to my Savior God. Counting on God's Rule to prevail, I take heart and gain strength. I run like a deer. I feel like I'm king of the mountain!

What powerful words! Even though I see and hear no hope with my physical eyes and ears, I am encouraged as I sing to Him and gain hope and strength!

Look at these seven progressive steps:

1) I have no hope of making it (reality)
2) I choose to sing joyful praises to my Lifegiver, the Lord!
3) I choose to turn cartwheels of joy to my Savior! (I push past my hopelessness)
4) I trust the Lord with His RESURRECTION POWER to PREVAIL! (Overcoming the problem)
5) I receive HOPE and gain STRENGTH!
6) I run like a deer!
7) I feel like I am more than a CONQUEROR!

This is not self-help. This is not mind over matter. This is the miracle power of praise to our Lord! This is receiving His provision and protection!

Try it! You'll like it! You will feel much better!

Your Perspective

All of us have experienced deep disappointments and discouragements. We have many choices from the experiences.

We can either learn and grow or we can lament and become bitter. It is painful to work through disappointments. It requires courage to face and work through discouragement.

We must rely on the One who created us. We need His grace. Grace is a Person. His name is Christ. He gives us the ability to be who we were created to be and become and do what we were created to do.

If we call on Him, He answers. He wants to help us! He wants to help us more than we want to be helped!

We need safe people who call upon Him to help us!

If you don't know Him or anyone who knows Him, call upon Him!

He will reveal Himself to you and direct you to the right people at the right place in the right time!
