 <\/p>\n

You may be broken, feeling like you just can\u2019t take one more day.<\/h6>\n
Do not give up! There is Hope!<\/h6>\n
For every single problem you face and have gone through\u2026<\/h6>\n
For every heart break, mountain of tears, trembling in the night with unimaginable fears<\/h6>\n
Don\u2019t give up!<\/h6>\n
Hope says, you will not die\u2026you will live\u2026you may cry tonight, but child, in the morning there is Joy\u2026<\/h6>\n
Dry your tears\u2026and listen\u2026<\/h6>\n
The liar in the shadow is only that\u2026a shadow\u2026it\u2019s not real<\/h6>\n
Hope is light!<\/h6>\n
Hope is life!<\/h6>\n
Hope is there even when it seems deferred! (lost, in the distance, never seems to come)<\/h6>\n
There is always Hope\u2026<\/h6>\n
You\u2019ve tried everything else, has anything worked?<\/h6>\n
No!<\/h6>\n
I may sound old fashioned! Primitive! Extreme! Crazy! Old!<\/h6>\n
But I know beyond a shadow of doubt\u2026there is only ONE, who can help, and restore Hope!<\/h6>\n
Don\u2019t turn a deaf ear\u2026don\u2019t let pride or self, stand in your way of an abundant life!<\/h6>\n
Hope says, peace is now\u2026Hope says, love is abundant and unconditional<\/h6>\n
Hope says, there is a way, a right way to live and thrive\u2026in the truth, not lies\u2026<\/h6>\n
Hope says, I\u2019ll give you a brand-new heart and shower you with abundance of grace, God\u2019s unmerited favor\u2026<\/h6>\n
Hope, is not dead! Hope is alive! Hope seeks forgiveness and forgives\u2026<\/h6>\n
Hope, won\u2019t leave you stranded and naked and pleading for death\u2026<\/h6>\n
Hope, when realized, is a tree of life!<\/h6>\n
Jesus is the Tree of Life!<\/h6>\n
I\u2019m talking to you, yes you, the one reading this at this very moment. The one who is thinking of ending it all. Don\u2019t do it! Don\u2019t let your life be stolen from you. I promise you, if you\u2019ll just ask Jesus to turn your life around and help you live for Him, everything will change. He\u2019ll 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\u2019ll look back on this moment and you will see how He gave you Hope and delivered you from hopelessness.<\/h6>\n
There will always be trials in life, but with Jesus, you have Hope that he will lead you safely home.<\/h6>\n
If you\u2019re sick, homeless, have addictions, beaten, cast down, emotionally drained, physically exhausted, don\u2019t wait another minute\u2026Hope says, call on Jesus!<\/h6>\n
Find a church body that preaches the truth, the Word of God, and don\u2019t 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.<\/h6>\n
There\u2019s a tree of life waiting for you! Ask, seek and knock and you will find!<\/h6>\n
H<\/strong> is for Him<\/h6>\n
O<\/strong> is for Overcomer<\/h6>\n
P<\/strong> is for Prayer<\/h6>\n
E<\/strong> is for Eternal<\/h6>\n
