May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 NIV
In Rogue One, a Star Wars Story, hope is the theme running throughout the whole movie. At the very end, Princess Leia responds to a statement that the rebellion is losing. She says, no, we have hope. Hope is what keeps people hanging on when they want to let go. Hope can be used in a malicious manner as well to keep people following a vicious leader. Give them just a glimpse of hope, tell them what they want to hear, and they'll continue to follow you.
I am happy to tell you that the God of hope gives us true hope. Not just a feeling. Not just something for the moment. But a lasting joy and peace that truly surpasses anything a human could offer. God gives us his Holy Spirit so that we can have a real connection.
Let his joy and peace fill you with true hope.
