But <i>with<\/i> hope, our lives are meaningful, bountiful and beautiful!<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes the situations we face can make us feel hopeless. Believe us when we tell you that we know from experience. We have been there.<\/p>\n<p>But when we hold fast to our hope, and to the God and Father who <i>gives<\/i> us that hope, we come through those trying times with new faith, new hope and a bigger trust in God.<\/p>\n<p>Lamentations 3:24 (NKJV) 24 \u201cThe Lord is my portion,\u201d says my soul, \u201cTherefore I hope in Him!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>God is calling us to trust Him in everything. He wants us to have such hope and faith in Him that it permeates every aspect of our lives.<\/p>\n<p>Does that mean that we will live like Christian superheroes, never making mistakes or never having a weak moment? Nope!<\/p>\n<p>But it means that we will look to Him in everything that we do, every choice we have to make and every situation that we encounter.<\/p>\n<p>Why? Because we understand that He is the one who gives us hope; that incredible hope that gives our lives meaning and gives our souls reassurance that somehow everything will work out, despite what our eyes see in the natural.<\/p>\n<p>And as we continue to hold onto that hope, our lives will be transformed, one day at a time, so that this hope we speak of becomes the very foundation on which our lives are built.<\/p>\n<p>Pastor Curt &amp; Pastor Ellie<\/p>\n<p>Seven Seas Ministries<br \/>\nP.O.
