“God wants to raise up people filled with hope. True hope is not rooted in my achievements or assets, but in my knowledge that I am the child of the King. He loves me with a love that nothing can take away. He has given me his forgiving and empowering grace. He is daily changing me and maturing me. He has promised to give me whatever I need to face what comes my way. And he has promised that I will live forever in a place without suffering, sorrow, or sin. This means that in the most difficult moments of my life, nothing truly permanent or valuable is at stake. What I really live for is safe and secure. I don’t know what tomorrow will bring, but I know that I am in the family of God, eternally loved and cared for by him. This is real hope.”
