Hope

"Everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure." 1 John 3:3


Currently Reading: Hope by Jeremiah Burroughs

“So when a child of God is in the world, and meets with a great deal of opposition,
and much evil that would discourage his heart,
that would strike him at the very head,
then he holds forth the hope of salvation as a helmet;
and that will serve him; that will secure his head.
It may be that his legs, or some other parts, may be touched,
but the helmet of salvation will secure his head and keep him alive.
Thus it is when we meet with opposition at hand.”

“There is this hope as an anchor that holds the heart so
that it shall not be driven upon the rocks, nor upon the sands.”
