Proverbs 17:22 says, A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.
Hope makes joy available, just as a lack of hope produces misery. We can choose to enjoy righteousness and peace or to stay in the midst of condemnation and turmoil. There are blessings or curses available, and that is why Deuteronomy 30:19 tells us to choose life and blessings
Every time I lay aside faith and hope, I stop believing and I lose my peace and as soon as I lose my peace, my joy goes with it. Make a decision to be a now person. God has a good plan for your life right now.
No matter how hopeless your situation seems to be or how long it has been that way, I know you can change because I did. It took time and heaping helpings of the Holy Spirit, but it was worth it. It will be worth it to you, too. Whatever happens, trust in the Lord and trust in the power of hope!
My hope is in God who never changes. Nothing is impossible with Him. He is a big God, and I'm believing Him for big things. How about you?
