Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
Abounding hope leaves no permanent room for depression, despair, or giving up. Abounding hope expects nothing less than great things from God! Abounding hope always points us in the direction of Christ. Abounding hope rest in Christ’s perfect love for us. Abounding hope overcomes the darkness with the light of Christ. Abounding hope sees beyond the present to the future which God has laid in store for his children. Abounding hope is the anchor for the soul, it is the balm of Gilead, it is the bright and morning star. Abounding hope is an expectation with certainty that God will do what he has said. It is based on the character of God who will never leave us or forsake us.
