A Life That Speaks Hope

To let your life speak hope is to let your life be weak and broken, and even to let it be fallen apart. Yes, it is the only way to speak hope.

To let be, acknowledging a higher Sovereignty. Than yourself. To let be, recognizing a stronger Authority. Than yourself. To let be, surrendering to a supreme Creator, the Master Creator of all things, even your one single life. That, is to speak hope. That, is the only way.

Because either this life's hardships bring hardness, or they bring a weakening. Either your circumstances, they bring more bitterness, or they cause more breaking. And either you stand tall and strong about it, or you fall apart because of it.

For hope is only ever heard loud and clear in the need. When the weakening becomes oh so evident. When the breaking creates such softening, and the falling apart leads you to salvation. To your Saviour, the One Who knows your need and promises to meet it. In abundance.

That, is hope! The only way a life speaks hope.

"Hallelujah!" The only Way. The Gospel of Christ Jesus is the only Way to proclaim hope to a fallen world who needs it. By letting Christ be Lord, so that your life is His. Then, you can let be, even when every need shouts it out loud and clear, you can let be. And let hope shout it out even louder, "Christ Jesus is enough for me! I can let be."

And that, is a life that speaks hope!
