Jeremiah 17:7 - Hope Has a Name.

Jeremiah 17:7 (NLT) But blessed are those 
who trust in the LORD and have made the LORD 
their hope and confidence. 

COMMENTARY PEARL

   Have you ever felt as though your life 
doesnt matter, that no one cares about you, or that 
no one would miss you if you were gone? 
   You couldnt be more wrong. God loves 
you. And so many people, more than you realize, 
love you. Your life has meaning, and your life 
has purpose. You have a place, and we need you. 
So I want you to hang on. 
   Sometimes life can seem so unfair, and 
life can seem so hard. You wonder, How am I 
going to get through it? Maybe youre 
terrified of the future and dont think you ever 
will be happy again. 
   As someone with one of the few advantages 
of age, let me just say this: No matter how bad 
the crisis youre facing is right now, 
youre going to get through it. Ultimately, it all 
will pass. 
   I'm not speaking from a vacuum. I 
wasnt raised in a Christian home. I didnt have 
Christian parents who tucked me into bed at night and 
read me Bible stories. I lived the opposite of 
that. My mother was an alcoholic who was married 
and divorced seven times. I had a very 
difficult, crazy, and tumultuous childhood. 
   But when I came to faith in Jesus Christ, 
it changed the course of my life. Now I feel 
like I can take the pain and hardship Ive been 
through and use it to help others. 
   Dr. Robert McNair Wilson, a British 
cardiologist, wrote, Hope is the medicine I use more 
than any other - hope can cure nearly 
anything. 
   Could you use some of that medicine 
today? Hope has a name, and its Jesus Christ. 
   God can take all the hurt and pain 
youve experienced in life and use it to touch 
other people. He can make you into the person that 
He wants you to be. [Greg Laurie from Harvest 
Ministries; https://www.harvestdaily.com]
