Jesus, by giving His perfect life as a payment for ours, so we may live eternally with Him in heaven, showed the true meaning of sacrifice and love. Now we as Christians must show the world the love we have been given, no matter the opposition we face. We must all be Lions of God. Jesus said, "I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to Father except through Me." We can be the first glimpse of light, leading our peers, our family members, our enemies towards the true Light.

Don’t lose Hope

The second we lose hope, we lose our future. For without a hope in tomorrow and the joy it might bring, we will no longer care if it comes, and should it come, we will hide, away, in the dark, thinking nothing of the joy we might once have possessed if only we'd pushed through.

We will sit there, crying, dead to the world that we thought had beaten us so badly we could not rise again, and there, without hope, we will die. Faith will only be a memory, of a time when we thought we’d once glimpsed happiness, only to have it seemingly stolen from us and our will to live taken with it.

Without hope, we are dead. Without faith, we are lost, without realizing we are worth putting up a fight, we will lose.

So why then, give up hope? Why lose this precious glimpse of light in our lives where our actions define who we can be? Why give in? Don’t let the world take you down, don’t submit. Why thrown up a white flag when our heart's blaze red???

Do not lose Hope, or faith, nor your right to Love and Be Loved - These give us our place in the world, and a light in our hearts. These mold us into the Children of God we are all capable of being. These, are what shapes the color and texture of our hearts...

 

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

“And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God, while we look forward with hope to that wonderful day when the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be revealed.” Titus 2:13

“For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future.” Ephesians 4:4

I Always enjoy reading your inspiring posts!
keep it up! here is my life motto-
" there are three gifts God gives each of us:
life, the ability to love, and hope!"

the original quote doesn't say hope but I
thought about it a while and decided hope
was more important than whatever they had
written! love, r.j.w.
