He is here

It is one of the things we cannot live without.  The deepest part of our soul cries out for it.  Without it, we start to shrink moment by moment.  All our efforts seem pointless without the zest of it.  Some have died from the lack of it. 

That thing is hope. Hope that life will turn out.  Hope that someone is standing in our corner.  In all the places you could find yourself this exact moment, there is a truth.  That truth is that Hope is here.  It is not a false hope that makes untrue promises.  It is not a guarantee of an outcome invented by any man or woman.  It is not a fantasy or an illusion or even a make-believe invention.  It is a real and everlasting Hope.

It is a hope based on the truth proclaiming God is still God.  It is a hope that God is really holding it all together.  It is a hope that God has not turned His face away.  It is a hope God can and is involved in our lives.  He is intimately acquainted with every heartache; more that we can ever know.  Hope is here

It is a hope that you are loved in your worst moments.  It is a hope that pursues you even as you turn away.  Make no mistake.  Hope is here.  No matter where you have been.  No matter when you are now.  Hope is here.  Because Hope is a person. His name is Jesus.
