I was truly inspired as I began to write these words of God’s hope. I have written poetry, words of inspiration, and encouragement, but none has touched my spirit quite like this one. I had to stop a few times as my eyes welled up with tears, realizing this was to be a personal invitation from the Lord, to those who really needed to find their way to the path of hope.Besides if there is one thing we “ALL” need, it is “HOPE,” when I looked up hope it said, “One that gives promise for the future.” I have found it difficult to have hope without the Lord in my life, the world is filled with false hopes and broken promises. The bible says without hope, life loses its meaning, that is why we must put “ALL” of our hope in the Lord.
Room Of Hope
If you really search deep within
There is a room called hope..
That longs to meet with you
It awaits your presence.
In the deepest depth of your soul.
In the hidden and secret places.
It’s light flickers in the darkness
It longs to be found.
Its warmth is so welcoming
Like a fireplace in the winter.
Like the sun upon your face
It desires to be felt..
This room is filled with peace
Soothing as a warm cup of tea.
Comforting as a soft quilt
It desires to embrace you.
There is a pathway to hope
Follow it with all your heart.
Listen, as it calls your name
The God of Hope is there.
My Prayer.. Lord bless your words of hope; let those who stop by and read this today accept your loving invitation. Lead them to the path of hope, the path that lead to you, let each one leave praising and glorifying your name saying… “It is well; it is well, with my soul.

Amen. So beautiful. And I prayed your prayer with you. What are we going to do if Jesus didn't come to save us? We are definitely facing that eternal destruction and that would be awful to live our lives having no hope. Glory to God! Blessings to you sister. Hope all is well.
Very good. I like how peace fills the room of hope.
You are right everyone wants hope. I think hope and peace are right there...maybe neck and neck.
We talked about peace last night in small group as we studied. One young gal shared had she never felt peace. I admit I don't feel peace or at peace all the time...not a lot lately...depends on the subject but can't say I'm at peace with my life though.
I do have hope and it's flickering in that darkness.
My hope rest in Him all day long.
Beautiful words of Hope.
Thank you Lorie,

If we did not have hope in Jesus what would we do? I pray for all who visit your's, mine and other's blogs that many people will be led to that blessed hope that only comes through submission to our Heavenly Father's son, Jesus.
I too hope all is well with you.
Love you,

My very favorite hymn is "It is Well with My Soul," especially this verse:
My sin, oh the bliss of this glorious thought/my sin, not in part, but the whole/is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more/Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, oh my soul!"
We have hope eternal when we have Jesus!!!!
Susan
