Hope’s Letter to Every Child of God

Do you enjoy receiving an encouraging letter from a friend or loved one? My hand’s raised. What if you received hope’s letter encouraging you in life and spiritual areas as God’s child?

Nowadays, a letter via text or email is more common than snail mail. But regardless of how we receive the message, the content matters most.

Even the Bible contains letters written to God’s people and intended for us today. In fact, God’s Word from Genesis to Revelation contains words from God for our hearts.

So what encouraging words do you need today about hope? Maybe hope in Christ or hope for the future or hope in your present circumstances.

Hope’s letter is for you, God’s child.

A Letter of Unwavering Hope

God’s child, 

The heavenly Father gave me to you as a gift; a stable, certain, and secure hope. I never waver based on circumstances, people, or opinions. You see, in an uncertain world, I’m an undeniable hope, an unshakable anchor for your soul. 

But you possess the choice to hold fast to the confession of your hope without wavering, for God who promised is faithful (Hebrews 10:23). Because Christ lives in you, a glorious hope also resides in you (Colossians 1:27).

Hope’s Letter for Identity

When Jesus lives in you through the Holy Spirit, He brings me near. So hope’s not around the corner, off in the distance, on the other side of glory, or something you muster up in your own power. Jesus’ followers hope in Him—the hope above all hopes.

Hope describes your identity in Christ. Therefore, your Christian ID card contains descriptive terms: Beloved, heir, saint, chosen, forgiven, and free. You are the picture of hope.

Know who you are.

Faith-filled Hope
