HOPE

Hope is the "red-headed stepchild" of the virtues; faith is big because "without faith it's impossible to please God", and faith can move mountains. Love is big because "the greatest of these is love"! So, "hope"sort of falls through the cracks. But hope is a big deal. Without it, people often commit suicide - one way or another. I love the quote from Bill Johnson: "Any area of your life where you don't have hope is under the influence of a lie"! So, are there any areas of your life where you need an infusion of hope? Are there lies that you're believing that are crushing hope out of your life? Here's a great promise/prayer: "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." (Romans 15:13)
