Whether you read The Message, NIV, or KJV of Romans 4:18, you’ll discover a running theme: Abraham believed in God’s promises even when there seemed to be no hope.
Knowing that God was faithful in keeping His Words several thousand years ago encourages me today.
God is worthy of our trust.
He offers hope no matter what our circumstances may look like at this very moment in time.
ROMANS 4:18
When everything was hopeless, Abraham believed anyway,
deciding to live not on the basis of what he saw he couldn’t do but on what God said he would do.
ROMANS 4:18
Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations,
just as it had been said to him,
“So shall your offspring be.”
ROMANS 4:18
Who against hope believed in hope,
that he might become the father of many nations,
according to that which was spoken ,
So shall thy seed be.
When my time here on earth is over, I hope my kids will always say this of their mom,
“When everything seemed hopeless, mom believed anyway.”
God hasn’t answered all of my prayers yet,
but I walk in confidence knowing that in His time He will.
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven!
