There Is HOPE

"But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation." 1 Thessalonians 5:8

Tuesday an American woman was sentenced life 
She'd allowed a man to rape her 5 month old daughter - multiple times
Now 3 years old, the child has a new mother
THERE IS HOPE

Last week I spent several days 
With a 5 year old little girl who'd been sexually abused by her father
My heart is stirred and I cling to the truth
THERE IS HOPE


Last year I spent 2 months with SHE ministry in Thailand
Going into the bars to show they are priceless, to show love
I pray to someday go again because
THERE IS HOPE

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13

At a time when the dark is getting darker
I praise the Lord for remaining the same, He is good
Even when i am broken hearted
THERE IS HOPE

A man named Jesus, who is God
Came in white as the Redeemer, Savior, Salvation
To mend the broken, heal the bruised and restore the abused - He came
THERE IS HOPE

Firstborn of the dead,
He is coming again - only this time He will be
Jesus in Red, the Judge
THERE IS HOPE

"For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness." Galatians 5:5

To reach the hopeless and destitute
He has called me to walk out Isaiah 61, bringing HOPE of a better day
Promising a time of justice and restoration

HE IS HOPE

"Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God's house. For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. (For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.) Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, but Christ is faithful over God's house as a son. And we are his house if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope."
Hebrews 3:1-6

HOLINESS IS MY CRY, FOR WORTHY IS HE TO BRING FORTH JUSTICE

"And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one's deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile, knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God."
 1 Peter 1:17-21
Love Always
