“The story is not over.”
Hope in Scripture is not wishful thinking. It is a confident expectation rooted in the character of God and the faithfulness of his promises. When hope feels thin, return to what he has already done. He has never broken a promise. He will not start now. The same God who brought life from the tomb is still at work in your story.
