These are the hopes I profess..
So I've decided.. to find verses that i found encouraging and to post them on here.. so that i don't just read them.. i actually have to take time with each one and think about them.. besides.. these verses.. are things i desperately want either to say, or to be confident in.
Job 13:15
Though He slay me, yet will I hope in Him; I will surely defend my ways to His face.
17:9
Nevertheless, the righteous will hold to their ways, and those with clean hands will grow stronger.
Psalms 118 6-7 + 13-14
The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? The Lord is with me; He is my helper. I will look in triumph on my enemies.
I was pushed back and about to fall, but the Lord helped me. The Lord is my stregnth and my song He has become my salvation.
129:4
But the Lord is righteous; He has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.
Proverbs 23:18
There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.
24:16
For though the righteous falls seven times, he rises again, but the wicked are brought down by calamity.
Isaiah 61:1-3
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, Because the Lord has annointed me to preach the good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lords favor....and provide for those who grieve in Zion- to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes and a garment of praise instead of the spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness a planting for the Lord for the display of His splendor.
Zephaniah 3:17
The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.
Romans 5:3-5
Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perserverance; perserverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not dissapoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whome He has given us.
Hebrews 10:23
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.
10:35-36
So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to perservere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised.
Revelations 7:17
For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their Sheperd; He will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

Ok, I can't resist, I have to comment on this one too. Geez, I just KNOW I'm going to get sucked into this blog thing and have to start a blog of my own...someday. The CRAZIEST thing about your posts, babe, is that you are quoting some scripture that I have heard many times before, but knowing that you're typing it as a personal choice, as part of yourself and something you choose for yourself...well, that just brings the Word of God alive. In a different way than it would for me or someone else. Isn't the Word so mysteriously fabulous? It has depths of meaning only our spirits (with the help of the Holy Spirit) understand.
This is in regard to your previous post. While I was reading it, I got this picture of you praying in the Spirit. I saw the Holy Spirit pouring out of your mouth as blood from your veins, gushing, groaning, crying out from the pit of you. From the depths. As deep calls to deep, the Holy Spirit cried out in you. Poured out. That is your life now. Poured out. Spilled out. Not in destruction, but the opposite. In creation. Nothing is hidden from Him. There is nothing He doesn't experience. You used to express yourself by hurting yourself. Now, He has shown you His ways are deeper. Going deeper with Him - exstacy. He will help you say what you need to say, create what you need to create, cry out, weep, groan, wail, dance, run, paint, draw, write, scream.
You are in Him and He is in you. You have the mind of Christ.
