THE CANDLE OF HOPE<\/p><\/div>
\nCharles Colson said it best:<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0\u201cWhere is the hope? The hope that each of us have, is not in who governs us, or what laws are passed, or what great things we do as a nation. Our hope is in the power of God working through the hearts of people. And that\u2019s where our hope is in this country. And that\u2019s where our hope is in this life.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I shared in a previous post that my new Journal the Journey — HOPE book is about to hit the press. I am delighted to share a few stories of how HOPE has kept me going during challenging times of life.
\nMy prayer for you today, as we end November, is that you will know where your hope comes from.<\/p>\n

\n

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. Romans 15:13 (ESV)<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Bless you with HOPE today,
