Filled

“I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.”Romans‬ ‭15‬:‭13‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Our God is the source of Hope. We can say: “I hope all will turn out”, however this is not a God-type hope, this is what dribbles from our lips when we lack faith. His Hope is a part of His love. It resides within us. It is usually not experienced by lazy Christians, but those who actively seek Him. The Christian experience is filled with the living word of God, that word resonates in our spirits, it creates a powerful hope in our God. I know I have a hope of eternal life. I know my God is for me because of hope, hope empowers me to step out in faith and boldness.

As I trust my God He filled me with joy and peace. As I focus on Him He keeps me in peace, as I praise Him His joy flows. He is the rock from which this river flows. He is the centre.

“So prepare your minds for action and exercise self-control. Put all your hope in the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world.”1 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭13‬ ‭NLT‬‬
