Hope for the Future

The true sign that we have a relationship with Christ, is that we believe in the future more than the past. We can not look at our past for confidence from things we have accomplished, nor can we look at our past in order to condemn ourselves for the failures & sins in our life.

He has plans for each one of us to grow in His grace so that we have hope in our future. Hope gives us the ability to dare, strength to face our day to day struggles, & the ability to live adventurously.

Hope comes from something or someone else. True hope comes from Christ & His ability to create something wonderful in our lives. His resurrection is our ultimate source of hope. Nothing, not even death could defeat Him. So if He is in us that means we cannot be defeated.
