Hope

*a cut out poem from a letter from InTouch Ministries*

"Life seemed empty and bleak," she wrote,
"I didn't see much hope."

Then God spoke to me:
Sanctuary could have a new beginning

But I wonder, is there hope for me?
Mistakes, heartbreaking trials, great loss
--Are you still with me, Lord?

Yes
There is hope and triumph
When you trust Him
Think of that, every step of the way,
No matter what happens...
Forgive yourself

You have the surpassing greatness of His power
Power enables you to triumph
Even in the worst of times
He draws you closer

You never need to lose your joy and peace
Your friends or family may walk away,
But God never abandons you

You are never alone.

Have the assurance:
The Lord knows your limits and weaknesses

We all need encouragement
A fresh beginning is possible
The key?
Your total reliance on God

There is hope.
