HOPE is a powerful force. It’s an expectation for coming attractions.
What are you hoping for that will come true in the future?
If you said I have no hope, you are a liar. 
Lying to others is bad, but lying to yourself can be deadly. It will wipe out the seed of hope leaving you without well HOPE!
How do I know you (or myself) are lying? Because hope is still alive and well even if we reject it.
What you may be saying is… “I had hope once about something, but I gave up on it.”
There are many reasons why people deny hope. Here are just a few.
- Frustration from trying too many times with no satisfying results.
- I am of a certain age.’
- Impatience.
- Jealousy from others.
- Trying to please others at the expense of your own life.
What sort of reasons have you adopted as truth?
HOPE is inside you even if you deny it’s existence.
How is that possible?
HOPE is a gift from GOD. God’s gifts never die and just because you haven’t watered that seed of HOPE in a while doesn’t cancel out its existence.
I myself have lost hope under the pressure of others, but when it happens I remember the words of JESUS..
Have you lost hope for your dreams? Has someone close to you SQUASHED that seed deep into the soil? If they have the joke is on them! They just buried it deeper! HOPE GROWS UNDER PRESSURE!
When a seed is planted its surrounded by soil, and even light can get to it.
But it’s the pressure of the EARTH that causes the shell to crack, allowing the LIFE inside to push toward the surface.
Do you feel pressure surrounding you? Are you cracking up? Then its time to realize your talent, potential and skill.
Pick up your watering can and sprinkle a little H20 on the soil, and watch your enemies run and hide!
Remember enemies are usually in disguise. That is why Jesus said, 
(Satan disguised himself before presenting himself to Eve.)
**Identify your enemy and embrace the HOPE UNDER PRESSURE.
P.S. God will deal with them in due time, so let your HOPE shine!
