Hope Says…

David G. Perkins, artist

You may be broken, feeling like you just can’t take one more day.

Do not give up! There is Hope!

For every single problem you face and have gone through…

For every heart break, mountain of tears, trembling in the night with unimaginable fears

Don’t give up!

Hope says, you will not die…you will live…you may cry tonight, but child, in the morning there is Joy…

Dry your tears…and listen…

The liar in the shadow is only that…a shadow…it’s not real

Hope is light!

Hope is life!

Hope is there even when it seems deferred! (lost, in the distance, never seems to come)

There is always Hope…

You’ve tried everything else, has anything worked?

No!

I may sound old fashioned! Primitive! Extreme! Crazy! Old!

But I know beyond a shadow of doubt…there is only ONE, who can help, and restore Hope!

Don’t turn a deaf ear…don’t let pride or self, stand in your way of an abundant life!

Hope says, peace is now…Hope says, love is abundant and unconditional

Hope says, there is a way, a right way to live and thrive…in the truth, not lies…

Hope says, I’ll give you a brand-new heart and shower you with abundance of grace, God’s unmerited favor…

Hope, is not dead! Hope is alive! Hope seeks forgiveness and forgives…

Hope, won’t leave you stranded and naked and pleading for death…

Hope, when realized, is a tree of life!

Jesus is the Tree of Life!

I’m talking to you, yes you, the one reading this at this very moment. The one who is thinking of ending it all. Don’t do it! Don’t let your life be stolen from you. I promise you, if you’ll just ask Jesus to turn your life around and help you live for Him, everything will change. He’ll make a way where there seems to be no way. But you have to mean it from your heart and then take the steps with Him guiding you to get to the other side. Years from now you’ll look back on this moment and you will see how He gave you Hope and delivered you from hopelessness.

There will always be trials in life, but with Jesus, you have Hope that he will lead you safely home.

If you’re sick, homeless, have addictions, beaten, cast down, emotionally drained, physically exhausted, don’t wait another minute…Hope says, call on Jesus!

Find a church body that preaches the truth, the Word of God, and don’t let anything or anyone deter you from that Hope! Hope in God and he will direct your steps. He will take the old and turn it into brand new beginnings.

There’s a tree of life waiting for you! Ask, seek and knock and you will find!

H is for Him

O is for Overcomer

P is for Prayer

E is for Eternal
