Romans 15:13 “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.” Hope is defined as an absolute confident expectation of what God has promised.  God has made promises to you and me.  Those promises give us a joy and peace which override the human traits of doubt, anxiety or depression.  The Holy Spirit, which thrives within each of us is beyond amazing and overrides our human nature.  He gives us a strength and joy found nowhere else.  We thank you, God, for this fantastic gift!  May we always keep it at the forefront of our thinking.
