27 DAYS OF GIVING THANKS: HOPE

http://www.stockfreeimages.com/They say that trials come to make us stronger and to build our character. Well if you're anything like me, you don't like them and believe that your character is just fine as it is. Unfortunately, it is part of life and we have to endure those trials and challenges. Sometimes life throws us challenges that we are not prepared for and sometimes we create our own situations and have to find our way out of them. Whether life creates the challenge or you create it of your own volition we usually have faith or hope that we can rise above our limitations. It does not matter if this hope is in ourselves or a greater power, such as Jesus this hope allows us to stand strong in the storm.

Hope gives us strength to make it through another day, it helps us to stand strong and keep pushing on even after a major meltdown. Hope revives the fight in us after we have been beat down and keep putting one foot in front of the other. I am thankful for hope because it has enabled me to do many things in this life and overcome many obstacles. I am thankful for hope because it allows me to realize that although I am blessed beyond measure, areas of concern in my life can continue to improve. Hope allows me to believe that others who are suffering or struggling will experience a turnaround in their lives or personal growth. And I have hope that the anointing that is upon my life and the lives of my family and friends will continue to grow.
