Hope

I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 15:13, NLT

I remember when John Wiley Price, a well-known Dallas County Commissioner from South Dallas, came to speak at Leadership Richardson. He spoke about the differences between South Dallas and North Dallas. He said that the worst thing that can happen to a human is to lose hope. He talked about how kids in gangs and people who commit heinous crimes, even killing random strangers, don't care because they have no hope. Hope is so powerful and so important in our lives. I pray that I will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit! I will and must continue to trust in God, the source of hope and I thank Him daily that he completely fills me with joy and peace (and continues to do that, even on the days when I get sidetracked and don't focus on Him and trust in Him).
