Hope

Promises are something we do not take very seriously anymore. Watching T.V. we see advertisements promising miracle products one after another. We read promises for weight-loss and hair removal products that work wonders. If you are like me, you may believe that maybe this time, maybe this is the product that will work. Many times I have tried advertised products, and many times I have been disappointed.

There is hope though. The best-selling book of all times has the answer. Jesus Christ makes promises and keep them. He is the One we can look to and know that His promises will not fail. We can have faith in Him and everything He says. He is honest and trustworthy. He will always be there, unchanging and approachable. He promises us in the Bible that we will have tribulation and trials, yet He will be near us. He explains that He is the same today, yesterday and forever. He also tells us that He will never leave us nor forsake us.

There are times in life when we feel all alone. There are circumstances that seem to be too heavy for us to bear. Taking time to focus on Jesus, remembering what He went through because He loves us will help get us through. Know His love is bigger than all the problems of this world and pray with an open heart to recieve His promises. If we will pray, seeking what He wants us to learn from each experience, we will draw nearer to Him and develop a closer and deeper relationship to Him. This is where we all need to be. In the center of His will, held close by the Master.
