Spread Hope Generously!

How many of us grew up on a farm or have neighbors that are farmers?

Friends we should be spreading hope generously, just like farmers spread manure to fertilize their fields. When farmers put in the time and effort to cultivate their fields they reap the benefits of healthy crops. We would be wise to follow their example when it comes to spreading hope wherever we go because when we put in the time and effort to lift the spirit of others we will all reap the blessings from it.

Hebrews 11:1

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

Are you facing adversities?

If so, I would encourage you to have complete faith knowing God is in the middle of your circumstance working on your behalf.

Remember farmers do not produce healthy plants immediately, first they plant a seed and wait patiently while they rely on God to produce the rains that help their plants grow stronger. We need to have the same patience while planting the seed of hope in others.

God makes us stronger in the midst of our adversities when we rely on him. His word fills us with the kind of hope that strengthens us and renews our determination. My hope is the Bible verses listed below will renew your spirit!

Romans 15:4

For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Romans 12:12

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

If you know of someone who could use hope I encourage you to share these verses, remind them that they are not alone on this journey and they should never give up!
