Hope is one of my favorite four-letter words.
I believe these four letters hold tremendous power.
Hope, to me, means that ANYTHING is possible.
Hope is a foundational belief.
Hope constantly aspires for more.
Hope believes any situation can change for the better.
Many times in my life, hope has been my both an anchor and a life raft.
Hope anchors my faith and gives me wings to rise above adversity.
Hope may not always be the best strategy.
But sometimes, it can be our only lifeline.
In times of despair, it is hope whispering tomorrow will be better,
that helps us drag ourselves out of bed.
Hope is having faith in something more than yourself.
Hope is believing that there is more to life that what you are going through.
Hope is realizing that maybe these things aren’t happening to you; but perhaps, they are happening for you.
It doesn’t matter if your hope is big or small.
All that matters is that you find that thread of silver lining in your situation and grab hold of it.
Eventually, that thread of hope will begin to multiply.
Through the lens of hope, you will begin to view your situation in a new light.
Those struggles.
This difficult season.
Maybe this fire wasn’t sent to destroy you. It was meant to forge you into a stronger, more resilient version of yourself.
But you have to be brave enough to hold on to the hope that life will be beautiful again.
Because it will be.
