A Seed of HOPE cont.

As believers we are to carry the seed of HOPE. As I watched this video and read the article, there was such a conviction and repentence that came on me. Being a believer is not enough. If we are not giving HOPE to a dying generation, then what are we doing? (...and we call ourselves "Believers") What are we believing?  that it's just about Me, Myself and I or "my four and no more".When is the last time we loved our neighbor as we love oursleves and sewed HOPE into their life or situation? When is the last time we shared the Love of Jesus with someone that has never known Him?

Sewing a seed of hope into someone who is imprisioned and/or in prison is what  we were created to do. Jesus is HOPE to the lost, broken, down and out, so "Believer" when  they see you they should see HOPE. After all christ is in you RIGHT?

Matthew 5:13-14 NIV
"You are the salt of the earth ... You are the light of the world."

Romans 8:19-21 NIV
" The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.

Romans 8:24 NIV
"For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has?"

Romans 10:14 NIV
"How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?"
