31 days of reflection {day 12} Sunday Psalms
This is by far one of my favorite verses from the book of psalms “but as for me, I will always have hope” Psalms 71:14
I truly believe God has gifted us with hope.
Hope is not something we can learn, hope is not something that we can buy or bargain for. Hope is not something seen, but something believed in.
Hope is like the wind, we can’t see it, but we can feel it when it hits us.
Hope is something deep inside of us that God gave us from the very moment we took our first breath!
Hope is my anchor on this healing path I have been on for 7 1/2 years now. Hope is something that I truly hold on to, because I believe something better is here for me.
My therapist often asks me “how do you do it?” .. HOPE is always my answer. Hope that something will change, hope that I will move out of the struggles I suffer from. Without hope I don’t know where I would be.
Hope is the light when it’s dark to the point of being blind.
I will always have hope no matter how hard it gets. Hope is what got me through the many days as a child when I didn’t know what the next day would bring.
Hope was my friend and still is to this very day.
I believe hope is what keeps us alive when we feel life is being taken from our soul. It gives us a reason to take another breath when we feel breathless.
Even in the hardest of hardest days, I always have hope.
I TRULY believe GOD is HOPE and HOPE is GOD!
As I walk into and towards another week ahead of me, I will hold strong to the hope that has never left astray! I will conitnue to hold onto the hope that God has gifted me with.
I will hold onto the hope that if things get hard this week, I will know that something is constantly changing within me, and that change will lead to more hope and more healing.
I will walk into this week knowing that “YES” this is hard and “YES” I am working hard through the fight to move out of this isolation I have been in, and no matter what, I will believe in the hope that is here, because GOD created me, and God created hope, and in that – I will love GOD and to love God is to believe in the hope he gives.
Here’s to HOPE no matter what is ahead of me.

1 Peter 1:3
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

THIS made me feel more hopeful… not to overuse the word. Great writing. And if I may offer my favorite verse on hope:
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13
Praying for you on your 31 Days.
