We imagine and hope for a bright future.

We…imagine bright futures and place our hopes on them✨️
…I'll get a stable job,
and live a stable life there.
Then I'll marry that person and live a good life.
I'll retire from my current company after reaching my contract and spend my retirement years🤔.
…Isn't it true that we all live in the present with more or less hope?
…Even so, there are times when that hope…ends with a crash.
…Unexpected illnesses or accidents, relationship troubles…unforeseen things happen…😰
Our hope…can vanish.
…Our lives…have hardships.
…Even as Christians…we face our own trials and hardships.
…Where is the unchanging "hope"🤔❓️?
…God's love for us in Jesus Christ❗️.
That,
that is what creates hope.
God's love
never betrays us.

Isaiah 54:10
... "Though mountains move and hills are swept away, my unwavering love will not waver from you, nor my covenant of peace," says the Lord, who has mercy on you.
... God's love is our unwavering hope!
... Herein lies our hope.
Shalom 😃
