Joy in Knowing Jesus

There is joy in heaven over one sinner who repents

Yet To Be

In the weakest of moments I look away, down instead of up, and see nothing.
If there is a tiny speck of light, I don’t see it because I look at my circumstances and their harsh limitations.
How cruel to be born, grow, gain, lose, and then die, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
How evil it is to despair. So easy it is to sink into the dark corners of the mind, to give into a depression where the soul is robbed of faith, and the heart becomes too afraid to believe.
It is a vengeful spirit that must not exist.
It is a evil that must never win.
The battle belongs to God.
He fights for us and will never fail.
Within the presence of God, there is peace, rest, joy, and love:
A love which dispels all fears. A love which brightens even the darkest nights with strength and with hope.


There is joy in heaven over one sinner who repents. Luke 15 verse 7

Rise up, my love and come away.

# 30 of 31 Walk in My Shoes…

Despair is a bottomless pit of darkness.

Where the icy fingers of fear caress the skin and misery  cuts deep into the bone.

Where there is an absence of emotion, the heart turns to stone.

We can do nothing but to look away from the hurt, from the pain.

From the fear and listen.

Listen clearly and hear that longing in His sacred melody;

That sweet honeyed song of Hope.

Saying, “Rise up, my love and come away.”

( reference: Song of Solomon 2 verse 10)

A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

#9 of 31 Hope and Doubt Again

But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavers (doubts) is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think he shall receiver any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. James 1 verse 6-8

Doubt is a long and dark path the heart veers onto from time to time.  A path where there is no light for guidance, no light to see the way, a way that will surly end in a void filled with fear, disbelief and despair.

A void so vast it threatens to encompass and to destroy the mighty prospects and wishes only hopefulness can afford.

The Need For Hope

colorful, Landscape Wallpapers HD / Desktop and Mobile ...

The need for hope lights a fire within our soul;

A burning desire that transports us from one moment to the next with the confidence of knowing our goal, our prize, our reward is closer still.

While hoping, we can never expire like that of Lot’s wife caught between the wish and longing.

No, for with hope we are always compelled to press onward, never looking back, always moving forward to a better place from whence we came.

In hope, our steps are made sure and safe;

Our hearts are made fat with strength and purpose so to withstand the fickleness of the mind.

Because Hope, the faithful companion of Confidence, can never fail;

Is never lonely;

Can never be contrite.

And never gives into despair.

“but we glory in tribulations also; knowing that tribulation works patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope; and hope makes not ashamed.” Romans 5 verses 3 and 4

#2 of 31 Hope Defined

Dictionary definition states, hope is to cherish a desire with anticipation : to want something to happen or be true. (Merriam-Webster)

Having hope is to be expectant, to have confidence and certainty.

It is the light at the end of a long and dark tunnel.

Despair has no power to grow or even to exist, when hope shines eternal.

“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death neither sorrow, nor shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away” Revelation 21 verse 4
