Hope seems so fleeting

You have go to be kidding me. Yet another day of wondering when the struggling will be over. How much longer do we have to go through this? Why can't they just understand what they are doing to themselves? Why do they have to walk right into the devil's traps?

Have you ever felt this way? I know I sure have. It blows. And just when you think that everything is turning around you get told that you are trying to hard. Or that it's not your fault. Why doesn't that help? The people we love seldom see just how much we want them to make good decisions that will draw them closer to God rather than farther away. It feels hopeless at times.

The truth is that hope is not as far away as we think. In the quiet of the day, when you find yourself feeling empty or heartbroken, stop. Just stop. Stop over thinking. Stop thinking worse case scenario. Stop allowing yourself to believe that you are losing the battle for your loved one.
God does not give up on us so why should we even entertain the idea of giving up on those we love.

There are times that I feel as though there is nothing left that I can do, but I am so wrong. I will never roll over and accept defeat. They mean too much to me. I will not just sit back and allow the enemy to take my children, wife, parents, whom ever, out of my life.

God has already given us the victory through Christ Jesus. The Lord says that He will never leave nor forsake us, that gives me hope. I am not alone. I am not abandoned. My savior is with me at all times, feeling my pain, taking my punishment, fighting for me and the ones I love.

Hope is not fleeting. It is right in front of us.
