God is our hope and our strength.

He fills me with all joy.

And peace.

As I trust in Him.

And in His Son, Jesus.

So that I will overflow with hope.

Given to me by the power of the Holy Spirit.

As we begin Memorial Day, we thank God for those who have sacrificed their lives for our freedom.

For the hope they give us.

May the God of hope fill us with all joy.

So that we may overflow with hope as we trust in Jesus.

Christ gives us this hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.

This Scripture verse reminds me of the Irish blessing.

Here's a beautiful view of Doheny State Beach near Dana Point.

May the God of hope fill us with joy.

And with His deep peace that goes beyond our understanding.

As we trust in Him alone rather than trusting in people or things.

So that we can overflow with hope in Christ.

Sharing that hope with others who are searching.

And that hope is filling us by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Amazing!

May Your Love Increase and Overflow

Just as the love of Jesus overflows for me.

May Your Love Increase

The God of Hope

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. — Romans 15:13

God gives us the hope we have.

He also gives us peace.

As I trust in Him, I don't stress over the small things in life.

When things don't go my way, I put them in God's hands rather than worrying about the outcome.

God's Holy Spirit fills me with His power so that I can overcome even the worst things that come my way.

I can't do it on my own. 

But with the Holy Spirit, God helps me get through those times that I otherwise would not have been able to handle.

Sunday I sang "Laudamus Te" and "Dominus Deus" in the Vivaldi "Gloria" for our church Christmas concert.

I am thankful that I can sing praises to God.

Monday I visit my radiation doctor for a follow-up visit.

God has filled me with joy and peace.
