Deeper than Tears
Someone bought me a little book with this title amd it has been a great blessing to me. I woke 4.30 this morning with this question in my head, "What could be deeper than tears". I tossed and turned pondering this question and then it sparked, "The promise of Hope". Keeping hope alive at a time like this is crucial because somewhere hope becomes a reality and fills the void of tears. Thats my theory anyway.
I have to thank God for the people that have stirred my hope, made me believe in myself again and been there to lift up the weary arms of faith. Discouragement is a powerful thing that can rob you of hope, a dark cloud which blinds our eyes to the mercy of God and makes us think only of the unfavourable stuff. There is only one way to scatter the cloud of discouragement and a good friend of mine reminded me last evening, Wait on the Lord. Its not by our own strength or our own ability to think, work out, or fix. According to Psalm 27:14 Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart: WAIT, I say on the Lord". Today I'm going to work on something thats DEEPER THAN TEARS, its called THE PROMISE OF HOPE.

Hi Phil,
I've been reading the Psalms lately and one Psalm i've read about 6 times lately is Psalm 43. Three words have been in my head for months. They are found in verse 5 and they are HOPE IN GOD. Someone once asked the queen mother about her faith and she replied that her hope was in a risen Christ. How amazing a statement was that! Thats all you or I will ever need. I've met people with no hope, thankfully we aren't one of those people. Be encouraged - Hope in God. God bless.
THE PROMISE OF HOPE that you will 'see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living'(v.13). Amen to that my friend.
