Easter is about a living hope cuz of our living Lord!

Need a hope-injection today? Is your hope-tank runnin' kinda low?

Hope is to the human as water is to the fish.. as sky is to the jet. 

Hope comes to people from God ..it's cuz of Jesus and His Cross and His physical Resurrection.

For God so loved the that He gave Jesus fir you. He has an unfailing plan, a loyal love, a bright future, a great harvest, and important!.. a living hope for you. Be humble, repent of your unbelief, turn from your own feeble devices to save yourself.

"In all things it is better to hope than to despair." – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

"To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory." Col. 1:27
H - humble yourself today
O - open your heart to God in prayer
P - profess with your mouth, go public with Jesus
E - embrace real hope and lasting life
"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence."  – Helen Keller
“Everything that is done in the world is done by hope.” – Martin Luther
"Obstacles are those frightful things we see when we take our eyes off our goal." – Henry Ford 

Remember that Christ is our focus. Yeah.. mainly knowing Him well, and our home in heaven with Him, and taking other people there, as many as we can - those are our good goals. Our time is limited, but we can use what we have to point em in the right direction. 

"Hope is passion for what is possible." – Soren Kierkegaard 
“Hope” is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops—at all.” 
– Emily Dickenson
  
“Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen!" Luke 24: 5-6
“The cross shows us the seriousness of our sin—but it also shows us the immeasurable love of God.”
"Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God.." Psalm 42:5 

Come to Jesus. Come back to Jesus. Receive the healed and restoration you need from Him! Don't despair. Real hope starts with turning from sin to the Lord. It's starts with the Cross of Easter so to speak and a personal relationship with the God of hope. Call out to him now
