Bible Quote about Hope

by Doug

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

~ Jeremiah 29:11

This verse really helps me in my life when I feel like things are hopeless, or I might never really get what I want or think I need. For example, I had a girlfriend for two years that I loved very much. Things started to fall apart, and she has a new boyfriend now. I still really love her, and I feel like things are hopeless, but I remember this verse and know that God has a future for me, that I can't even predict, but the hard times are necessary for me to experience, so I can enjoy something great in my future.
