Nick Ruiz: Hope

Hope

Some words I wrote a few years ago....I wanted to bring them back to encourage you today.

My hope is in the Lord. No longer shall I wander alone in the desert of despair. The sands may stretch to the ends of the earth, but what I saw was no mirage. It is Jesus, walking toward me with open arms. He says, 'No longer shall you stumble. I have come to lift you up.'

My hope is in the Lord.
No longer shall I wander

in the desert of despair.

The sands may stretch

to the ends of the earth,
But what I saw was no mirage:
It is Jesus, walking toward me with open arms.
He says, "No longer shall you stumble.

I have come to lift you up."

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 (ESV)
