Overflowing with Hope
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” (Rom. 15:13)
A candle in a dark room doesn’t just shine—it spreads light to everything around it. In the same way, when Christ fills us with hope, it cannot stay contained; it overflows and touches others.
Hope is not wishful thinking
It is the confident assurance that God keeps His promises. This living hope comes through Christ’s resurrection and is sustained by the encouragement of His Word (Rom. 15:4; 1 Peter 1:3). Even when we wait patiently for what we cannot yet see, we are anchored by His faithfulness (Rom. 8:24–25).
Therefore
Let God fill you with His joy and peace until your life overflows with hope that blesses others.
Trust Him fully—hope grows as faith deepens.
Stay in Scripture—God’s promises fuel lasting hope.
Share your hope—encourage others with the confidence you have in Christ.
“For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.” (Rom. 15:4 ESV)
