"I tell you there is hope for you today. Are you faced with problems in your marriage? There is hope. Are you bound by addiction? There is hope. Are you bout by the problems of the past from which you have been unable to get free? There is hope for you today. There is hope through the power of the Spirit of Yahweh who dwells with us. As long as you walk by the Spirit, you will never lose hope." - F Nolan Ball from his message titled "Hope."
We have all been there, in that place where it seems like all we can see are the challenges that surround us. When even the people we count on the most seem to not be near when we need them the most. Challenges are real and they are a part of this natural world we live in, but..... the Holy Spirit was given to us for the good times and the bad. To keep us grounded when things are great, and to give us strength and hope when we face life's obstacles. He can help us to walk upright and be strong, no matter the circumstances. Remember when we are in Him, we are in this world but not of it. He is faithful when we turn our hearts to Him. He is the Spirit of Hope.
