Many times we feel there is no hope for the circumstances we are facing. We try to think positive and keep up our hope.

Some people, no matter what happens to them, have a smile and keep up their hope, even it there seems to be no hope.

The Bible encourages us to have hope. It tells us to find our hope in the Lord, not our circumstances, not our family, or friends, but in Jesus.

How is it possible to have hope when there seems to be no hope?

When we realize how much God loves us, it gives us hope. His Son was willing to give His life for us and give us hope.

Also when we realize this life will be over one day. Knowing that a better life is coming when Jesus comes for the ones that have accepted Him as their Saviour. Heaven will be worth it all.

“Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.” Psalm 42:5.

Our hope is in Jesus.
