Begin to Hope

 Each of us in our lives will have moments of sorrow, heartache, despair and disappointments. It's a part of our mortal existence here on earth.
That being said, we must know that through these hardships, hope will always exist. It is never lost; it can't be lost. Although we will have moments when our lights may dim within us, and our paths seem too great to walk on...God has not forsaken us. In fact, he loves us so much, that he gave us his only begotten son, Jesus Christ, to mark the way before us. He is a symbol of hope to all of us. In John 16:33 it reads, "I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart, I have overcome the world."
Amongst our challenges, hope is what carries us through. The hope that good things are happening and that good things will come.
Some may ask, what we should have hope in?
We need to have hope in the atonement of Christ. That through him, we can overcome the things of the world and look forward with a positive perspective.
This requires faith and the belief that God can heal us. I know without a doubt that this is possible.
The moment we begin to hope, is the moment we invite God to help us during our trials. We will have a clearer perspective and know how to move forward. Our burdens will be made light and we will have a strong foundation to stand on. Never lose sight of the beautiful plan God has for you. Things will get better. Begin to hope and know the future is bright.
