Thank God for changing my perspective and help me moved to another level of understanding about How to live a joyful life. I must convince, trust and have faith believe this truth that "Jesus is the only way, life and truth" and "My Hope is IN HIM". He is my "Ultimate Hope" that no one can give or replace. His Hope is solid, his Hope is the power for my daily living. Because of HIM( Jesus), MY HOPE, I can face tomorrow and I can live.

Many of times, when I stuck in the situations or problems or when i stuck in my little small-world , I was so easily fall into discouragement, disaapointment, condemnation, self unworthiness, .... and also when in this situation, i know only God can set me FREE when I CHOOSE to continue "PUT MY HOPE IN HIM " and allow him bring me out of "my self pity small world".

HOPE is the Power to drive me on ...
Although many times, everywhere we talked about HOPE and in our head knowledge we understand important of HOPE and we believe we have HOPE..."True"! but many of time, Are we really trust that we have Hope even WHEN the world or ourself fall? Did we still remember Hope on that time? Did we trust and believe that we have Hope? or just allow Disappointment, negative thought continue take place?

For me.. in my life "Hope" always been used to remind and encourage myself and i thought i understand what is HOPE and i can ientify it.. but to my surprise the power of Hope is more than i experienced and i understood..

I realised many of time, when circumstances come, i easily fall into disaapointment, condemnation because i have put my hope in wrong place and on temporary things.. I have put my hope in this carnal world and myself! Truly people say" HUMAN will fail human, But GOD never fail you". I should put my Hope on solid ground that is lord, my saviour and it last eternal.

I will never know How POWER is "HOPE IN CHRIST" Until I truly experience and personalise it. HOPE IN CHRIST is the confidence in christ 's power.Indeed THIS HOPE(from God) really bring me eternal JOY and PEACE. JOYFUL in all kind of circumstance. One of the spiritual book, it does help me to have better understand about JOY. Joy is an inside job. Joy is not based on things happening( may it be good or bad). Joy is different from happiness.Joy is an attitude. Is our attitude how to respond the things happen around.

Ha...when i think and read through above , isn't joy and peace is link with HOPE and LOVE. Because I have GOD that LOVE ME SO MUCH and He is alive (real) and because he is alive, i have HOPE, and in his HOPE, I have courage and faith to face future..

THANK GOD for giving me this solid and eternal HOPE ... it brigthen my days day and night...:)
Thank God for being MY HOPE. Amen.
