Hope, Jeremiah 29:11

I wanted to start my first blog with my favorite scripture, a scripture that gives me Hope in this life.  Jeremiah 29:11 states, " For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." 

When doubt enters my mind or when fear enters my heart I reflect on this scripture and know that the God that has saved me from so many things in life and brought me to the place I am today didn't just offer me a tomorrow but His plan offers me Hope in a prosperous future.  Some may think of this in offerings of material things, but for me, I think of being prosperous as more love than I know I am worthy to have but have anyway.  I didn't have to do anything to receive hope, I simply received Him and in that I receive my hope for tomorrow. 

What are you hoping for?  Who are you trusting your hopes with?  Do you believe you have hope and a future?  If you are struggling with finding hope for the tomorrows, find reassurance in His word.

Blessings
