It's always darkest before dawn. The importance of hope...

All is seemingly impossible. On the brink of losing all hope.
The storm ends and a rainbow appears.
With it, bringing the promise of a new day, a renewed hope.
The loss of anything can simply mean the beginning of something new. 

But in this world, is anything ever truly lost? 

When our flesh dies, the spirit of God that's in us returns to be with him.
Regardless of who we are or what we believe.
Yes, the soul is a different matter.
But it is the spirit of God within us that keeps us alive in this world.  

It is by the power of hope, that we can feed and nourish the spirit of God that lives within us. Hope is not just simply what powers our prayers.
It makes our spirit, like Job, unconquerable by our enemies, no matter the circumstances. Hope empowers our faith. 

Without hope, we all are just beings simply existing.
Without it, fear overtakes us and becomes our sole motivator.
Taking us from the conquerors of our destinies to conquests.

Hope is a spirit that we must feed to overcome both battles that are seen and unseen. 
If you have air in your lungs, you have the spirit of God inside of you.

Hope sustains the spirit, it uplifts, and it fills. 

If there is but a little bit of hope, evil can never truly win.
Where there's hope there is goodness. There is God.
Fear, doubt, and lack of faith take you to a place of darkness. 

The battle has already been won on the cross by our savior.
You never have to face any battles alone; you can always face each new day with hope.
