In our town, we literally do have a street named Hope Street. Its a short street in a pretty small town. A lot of people go looking for hope in their lives. Almost daily, I get to meet people who are in desperate need of hope and I long to be able to share with them, the hope that I have found. So many people are living with little or no hope in their lives. Life is tough for many. Life is hard. People are doing the best they can. But they are feeling quite 'hope less'. They are not hopeless. Quite frankly, it took me a long time to find hope as I had chosen so many dead end streets and none of them were called hope.
One day, I was particularly desperate about a personal situation that had endured for years. That day would mark the start of change in my world. The pain of staying the same became greater than the shame I was carrying. I didn't want to carry it any more. And sometimes we have to do something different to get a different outcome. If I had not made a move to confess something shameful to God that day, the Hope Robber would have hounded me all the more. It was time I stood up to the beast that the Hope Robber is.
Though you may not currently be going down a road in life that leads to hope, you can actually find hope in whatever street you are in. The hope I am talking about is in a Person. He is the God of Hope.
Fresh hope is available to all who will seek for it. Hope is such a powerful necessity in all our lives for without a better day and without the prospect of of hope, we can live colourless grey days. Can I encourage you to watch this very hope full clip from You tube. I hope you will dance :)
