A DOOR OF HOPE by Joseph Prince
“I will return her vineyards to her and transform the Valley of Trouble into a gateway of hope.” Hosea 2:15 NLT
Are you among the people who think that when you fail, God leaves you and only returns when you get your act together.? Some people think they must clean up their lives and overcome all their struggles on their own before they can come before the presence of God.
Well I have a simple question for you. ”Do you clean yourself before you take a bath?” O course not!
In the same way, god wants you to come to Him just as you are, with all your weaknesses, idiosyncrasies, wrong beliefs, hand-ups, and all your bondages, fears, and addictions. He is the bath! You don’t have to try to clean yourself up before you come to Him.
What if the mess I’m in is entirely of my own doing? Can’t I still just come to God as I am and expect Him to help me?
Yes, even if you find yourself in the Valley of Trouble, know that you will not remain there for long. You will walk through it and not remain or camp there (Ps. 23:4) God is opening a door of hope in your life today for you to step out of your darkness and into His marvelous light. (I Pet. 2:9) Things are going to get better.The breakthroughs that you have been waiting for are coming your way. Step through the door of hope and out of your Valley of Trouble today. Jesus is your door of hope! Believe in His love for you and allow Him to lead you to freedom. In His loving presence, you will find forgiveness, healing, and restoration. He will mend your life and transform you from the inside out.
