                            Hope Arise 

I am your hope and I am your future, and I am with you in all things.
I will never abandon you, forsake you or turn my back on you. You are
My own beloved child, and you are a member of My family and I have
prepared a place for you in eternity, that you might be with Me
forever.

Yes, dear one, there are trials and difficulties as you walk on this
earth. That is to be expected. But there is a difference between you
and those who do not know Me. My Spirit lives within you as a seal and 
promise of the inheritance that I have given you. In Him, there is a 
deep and lasting peace that is independent of whatever circumstances
you may face. In Him, there is a joy that bubbles up from deep within
your inner being, because My Son came so that your joy might be full.
Little one, I have already made those things available to you, and I
desire that you tap into them on a regular basis.

Here is another difference--I am both willing and able to take care 
of you. I will provide for your needs out of My great abundance and
unlimited resources. Indeed, I will protect you from harm and send My
angels to watch over you, to guard you in your way. I will be with
you in all things and I will bring My glory into your situation as 
you put your faith and trust in Me.

I have good plans for you, dear one, and I am well able to bring them
to pass. So look to Me and you will not be disappointed. Allow hope to 
arise in your heart, for I have many good things for you.
