Jesus said, "Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30) |

HOPE
Works in these ways...
It looks for the good in people
instead of harping on the worst;
It seeks the Lord and discovers what can be done
instead of grumbling about what can't be done;
It regards problems, large and small
as opportunities
It trusts in the LORD and pushes ahead
when it would be easier to quit;
|
|
|
It "lights a candle"
instead of "cursing the darkness"
It opens doors where despair closes them
It cherishes no illusions
nor does it yield to cynicism;
IT IS ENERGISED BY THE LOVE OF GOD
and the belief that He will
"never leave you nor forsake you".
"Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
And whose hope is the LORD." (Jeremiah 17:7)
