Hope simply means to anticipate, usually with pleasure; expectation, or confidence. Despair is simply to be utterly at a loss, i.e. despondent. Hope is expecting the best and anticipating good things, a bright-up look! Despair is accepting the worst and at a loss, despondent, with a dreary down look!

We often use the term hungry to describe someone with more desire or passion than someone else. When an underdog defeats the favored team we explain it by saying they we hungrier than the favorite. Hunger and thirst is an indicator of your future. Hunger and thirst drive a person to go the extra mile, to go above and beyond the status quo.

Daily we are confronted with situations where the outcome is beyond our control. Circumstances take over and we are left seemingly powerless without a single option. We feel trapped in a corner with no way out. We are overcome by hopelessness and helplessness.

Many people profess to do their best, but most are only kidding themselves. How do you know for sure if you have done your best? The true litmus test of best is simply this question: Could you have done better? It is a great feeling knowing you have done your best.

Isaiah described this phenomenon in God’s words like this: “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts” (Isaiah 55:8-9).

Face it, we’re all emotional people. If you are living, you have at least some feelings. On one hand, some display few feelings while on the other hand, some are “emotional basket cases” and allow emotions to dictate every aspect of their lives. Since we were born with emotions that are part of human nature, the question is simply how do we respond to those emotions.

When we dissect the word forgive, we discover its purpose, forgiveness is intended for giving. If there is one gift that God has given us that must be shared and not hoarded, it is the gift of forgiveness. If we fail to use it, we lose it. If we fail to offer it to others, we negate or lose the forgiveness God has provisionally offered us.

Fear is one of the most powerful of emotions known to man, and certainly the most debilitating of all human emotions. Fear paralyzes people; it causes them to freeze in their tracks, immobilizes them, and holds them hostage to assumptions and old paradigms. Fear is a robber, a thief, a destroyer, and it makes people miserable.

The message is so powerful and pertinent to us… Everybody Needs What We’ve Got! They may not even know it. They may not even know that truth exists. They may not be aware of the gift of the Holy Ghost and it’s life-changing power.

Nearly every building contains two prominent signs: ENTRANCE and EXIT. Both are of extreme importance. Frequently these signs are painted or attached to a particular door, and often it’s the same door. The very doors you used to enter the structure may be the very doors you use to exit.

You have more power than you think you do!
