Dear Younger Me, 

You always have hope because you always have Jesus. Jesus Himself is hope – that He lived, and defeated sin and death, and gave you salvation and freedom and a promise of restoration someday. So when your situation seems desperate and without hope, never fail to remember that with Jesus in you and you in Him, you really aren’t without hope. Cling to him, cling to His promises, that you won’t give up your belief in Him, His power to do all things, and His good and perfect knowledge and will that even when things don’t go the way you want them to, you can trust that He is enough, that your miracle could still be right down the road, and that ultimately the hard stuff does not last forever. Look to Hebrews 6 to read about the certainty of hope in Him, words like “a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul.” It’s exactly what your heart needs. 

Love, 

Megan
