Hebrews and Hope

Sometimes, I second guess some of the "inspirational" things I post on social media. But, every time I do, I think to myself, that I'm not ashamed of my Christianity, why am I doing this? It is the enemy, and I do know that. He's trying to keep me from sharing God's word. I am not ashamed of my faith, and the changes that I've been through because of it over the past year. I'm not who I was a year ago, and I thank God for that. I'm in such a better place because of His grace and His mercy. 

I am sure there are those of my "friends" who look scroll right over anything that I post, without giving it 2 seconds of their time. But then, there are those friends who like my post, and I know they've read it (at least I hope that's why they are liking it!). And it makes me smile, because they get it. And maybe I've planted something in their mind for the day, and have encouraged them to read more of His Word. BUT...a big hope of mine is that I touch someone who isn't as involved as I am. 

Who hasn't been to church in years. 

Who questions God regularly. 

Who questions why things happen. Why things are so rough. 

It's THAT person that I truly want to move by my post. Don't get me wrong, I want to help my fellow Christians too. I want to support an encourage them. Remind them and love them so that they will know we are together as we face our daily trials.  But...if I could somehow inspire that person, that non-believer, that man or women who's lost their way a bit, to go to church. To open a Bible. To just pray. 
Wow. That would be amazing. 

We've all questioned him.
We've all doubted him. 
We've all felt that we've lost hope in something. 

He tells us that by spreading His word, by sharing it with others, Christians or not, that he will give us what we hope for. Bigger than that though, is just showing Him my love, my faithfulness, and knowing that through it all my prayers will be answered. How do I know that? It's so simple. God is GOOD.  All the time. Just talk to Him. 

Hebrews 6: 10-11 
"10 God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. 11 We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized. 

God's grip on us is so incredibly strong and amazing. He is super natural after all... 
Let Him be the one who holds on, because sometimes it's so hard for us to. Hang on to any hope that you have, because of that grip. He's got us. Safe and secure. There is this hope that I have, that I've held on to for so long now, but I refuse to give up on it. I refuse to let the enemy win, and steal it away, when God's word tells me to just hang on... 

I CLING to this verse. Hold on to it for dear life. Because, you know why? It IS my life. It's what keeps me going each day (well, besides my babies). It's my reminder that my hope WILL happen. It anchors me, holds me to Him. His grip on me, stays firm and secure through my faith and hope. I mean, I even got a tattoo because of it, and will eventually get this scripture added to it.  And

Hebrews 6: 19 
We have this hope as an anchor for our soul, firm and secure.

If you're one of those friends who's lost, who's questioning life, who's unsure of where to turn next. Please, let me help you. And you know, even if you're not at a low point, but just need some joy back in your life, let me help you. There is still so much hope for you.  Join me for church tomorrow. Go to your local church. Say a prayer. Read a Bible (there is a wonderful App if you don't have your own). If you don't know where to start with any of these things, please reach out and I would love to help. 


SIDE NOTE: As I was searching for some images to use in this post, I came across this blog, and these words from it just gut punched me. H-O-L-Y Wow. That is all. 

"So even in the worst of it, we have hope. Even when the pain reaches down to our bones and the sorrow seeps into our hearts, we  have hope. Because God has begun this work in us and He is faithful to complete it."
