How must we really trust in God? 
Is it with just a small portion of our life?
 
The words 'the God of Hope'
explode and expand out into all that is before us - 
not just for this moment of time but on into eternity.
 
This hope produces in us ‘all joy and peace’. 
 
 Have you ever stopped and considered why Jesus spent time
only hours before His crucifixion talking about joy?
‘…that in me you might have joy'. 
Why?
Because he would in 3 days rise from the grave!
 
Not only would he bring joy but also peace
because of his risen presence.
 
If because of our 'hope' our lives are filled with 'joy and peace',
what more do we need? 
Hope – joy – peace - trust 
They are wonderful words for us from our loving heavenly father.
