2024 YEAR OF THE RESTORATION OF THINGS HOPED FOR 12-31- 23
Prov 13:12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life. NLT
Rom 5:5 And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love. NLT
Romans 8:24 For what we already experience confirms our hope and continues to fuel our expectation for what we still cannot see. In the final visible completeness of the harvest, hope has fulfilled its function.
25 In the meantime our expectation takes us beyond visual confirmation into a place of patient contentment.
26 The Spirit also sighs within us with words too deep for articulation, assisting us in our prayers when we struggle to know how to pray properly. When we feel restricted in our flesh, he supersedes our clumsy efforts and hits bulls-eye every time. Mirror

Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you’ll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven. MSG
