this new song i added has been a huge encouragement to me lately and a reminder that no matter how i might get disappointed with people around me God will never disappoint and that He is our true source of Hope when things seem like a spiritual standstill in the lives of people you are working with.

this morning i was reading in lamentations and wow talk about gaining perspective. let me just give you a glimpse of life in Jeremiahs world suddenly my situation seems much better. here is where Jeremiah is at: "I am the one who has seen the afflictions that come from the rod of the LORD'S anger. He has brought me into deep darkness, shutting out all light. He has turned against me. Day and night his hand is heavy upon me. He has made my skin and flesh grow old. He has broken my bones. He has attacked me and surrounded me with anguish and distress. He has buried me in a dark place, like a person long dead. "this is coming from a guy who warned these people for years that this day of destruction would come. imagine ministering to people that just would not confess their sin, see their need for Gods forgiveness and turn from their sinful ways. how frustrating for jeremiah working amongst such a people as this. even though much suffering had come upon them that still did not get through to their stubborn hearts. so its easy to see why he was so discouraged here. maybe thats how you feel like you are just not getting through to the hearts of those around you, that those people just keep choosing destructive habits to fill the void in their life. or maybe its you maybe you are the one choosing lesser gods that are keeping your heart calloused. God is offering HOPE TO YOU! no matter what the situation HE HAS HOPE TO OFFER YOU, HOPE THAT CAN ONLY COME FROM HIM!

here is what keeps Jeremiah from going off the deep end of his difficult days surrounded by the darkness of sins of rebelliousness and people that keep disappointing him, here is what keeps him going and what will keep us you and me going as well! Praise God that He is our unfailing source of HOPE!

"I will never forget this awful time, as I grieve over my loss. Yet I still DARE TO HOPE when I remember this:
The unfailing love of the LORD NEVER ENDS! By His mercies we have been kept from complete destruction. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each day. I say to myself, "The LORD is my heritance; therefore, I will HOPE IN HIM!
THE LORD IS WONDERFULLY GOOD NOT JUST GOOD BUT WONDERFULLY GOOD TO THOSE WHO WAIT FOR HIM AND SEEK HIM"

Here are the lyrics to the song You Are My Hope by Skillet
listen to the song on here and let these words sink in!

"You Are My Hope"

Times are hard
Times have changed
Don't you say
But I keep holding on to you
It's hard to keep the faith alive day to day
Leaning on the strength I've found in you
You're the hope of all the Earth

You are my hope
You are my strength
You're everything
Everything I need
You are my hope
You are my life
You are my hope
You are my hope

Far beyond what I can see or comprehend
Etching your eternity in me
Nations stream and angels sing, "Jesus reigns"
And every knee bows down
You're the hope of all the Earth

You are my hope
You are my strength
You're everything
Everything I need
You are my hope
You are my life
You are my hope
You are my hope

Carry on and I sing of how
You love and I love you now
All the times that I start to sink
You come and you rescue me
You are my hope
You are my hope

May your heart be encouraged today because regardless of how you feel God is offering you HOPE!
