My Journey to God

God is Hope and Optimism

Our God is both hope and optimism for us
He is not like a glass that is half full or half empty
He is like a glass that is fully full and abundant
He is joy and peace that completely fills our hearts.
God is Hope and Optimism

Hope in God is like the harmony of our soul
Optimism in Him for He will not abandon us
Optimistic in that God is omnipotent in all things
Peace in the hope God gives us is like music to us.
God is Hope and Optimism

Hope that if we listen to God’s voice all is well
Optimism in that we wait for God to act in His time
We learn to act not in haste in hope that God will listen
We are optimistic in the waiting in God’s own time.
God is Hope and Optimism

Hope in that where we are at the moment is His will
Optimistic in that God knows what is best for us
Hope that our journey to God will bring us to heaven
Hope that we put the heavenly realm first and trust in God.
God is Hope and Optimism
