Meditate. Consider the Hope you have in the Lord.
Now, who will want to harm you if you are eager to do good? But even if you suffer for doing what is right, God will reward you for it. So don't worry or be afraid of their threats. Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain it. But do this in a gentle and respectful way. Keep your conscience clear. Then if people speak against you, they will be ashamed when they see what a good life you live because you belong to Christ. Remember, it is better to suffer for doing good, if that is what God wants, than to suffer for doing wrong! 1 Peter 3:13-17 (Underlined for emphasis.)
If you belong to Christ—you have a good reason for Hope! You have a secure future and are loved by an immensely loving God. Remember…
For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and
only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal
life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the
world through him. John 3:16-17
That is love. That is the love
that gives hope to those who believe in Jesus.
If you have love…you have hope! Tell others about the hope you have…why, when, and how.

Verse of Salvation ~ For the
kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in
salvation. There's no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which
lacks repentance, results in spiritual death. 2 Corinthians 7:10
