The reason we despair is because we lose our sense of hope. We lose our sense of hope by not maintaining a proper focus. But God is still here, ready to hand hope to us again as soon as we turn around to look for it.
You cannot cling to despair and be raised by hope. Whatever it is that is weighing you down must be sacrificed in order to receive hope! You can trade in your despair for hope!
Absolute hope is in Christ – for salvation, for living today, and for eternity! God has given us the ability to raise our hope as high as His throne!
