Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1
Hope of the cold winter passing is the emergence of the green growth of the spring bulbs as they push their way through hard soil towards the sunlight and warmth and hope is the sweet perfume of the Daphne flowering at the front door, heralding Spring.
Hope is the bow in the sky full of colour and joy following the rain reminding us of God's covenant with his people. All these signs and more assure us that we can put our hope and trust in God. They fulfil our hope that God is faithfully and loyally with us so why should we ever doubt when we don't see signs of hope for they too will come.
Grace and peace from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Anne, Servant of the Lord.
Daphne - the hope of Spring.
