"Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost." ~ Romans 15:13
My words of the year are "Joy" and "Hope". So far I haven't been learning so much as just remembering. :) Remembering that I can have joy even in hard times...remembering I have a hope for the future in my Lord Jesus Christ. Remembering in each difficult moment that I have a choice - I can choose to have a bad attitude, get angry, and grumble...or I can choose joy! Remembering that instead of despairing in a moment of tragedy or thinking of all the things that could go wrong in life...to choose to hope in my God! :)
Each week through this year I'd like to share a verse or two; on one or the other, or both of these words, to remind myself and you of the joy and hope we have as God's children. :D Sometimes I'll also share a song video or favorite quote. This will give me an opportunity from time to time to tell you how God is using these two words in my walk, which I pray will be an encouragement to your faith in our Great God. :)
For today, just think about and remind yourselves of the joy and hope we have in Him and what that means to you. :)
Have a blessed Sunday!

Charles Spurgeon: "Set all your affections on His person, all your hope in His merit, all your trust in His efficacious blood, and all your joy in His presence. Bind your heart to Him who will never leave you."
Have a blessed Sunday!
