OVERFLOWING WITH HOPE

Tuesday, December 06, 2011

So I pray that God, who gives you hope,

will keep you happy and full of peace

as you believe in him. May you over-

flow with hope through the power of the

Holy Spirit.

Romans 15:13

 It has always been easy for me to get mental pictures of things.

But for the life of me I can't get a mental picture of overflowing with hope.

I have tried. But nothing that comes to mind is good enough.

"Overflowing with hope" is beyond my mental capacity.

Read this passage, Romans 15:13 again. Read it slowly and deliberately. Think about what it means. 

Isn't it wonderful? Absolutely wonderful!

I want to say with the Apostle Paul: "May you overflow with hope through the power of the Holy Spirit."
