This is my prayer for each person reading this devotional:
(NASB) Romans 15:13 “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

Belief in Jesus: that He really died on the cross… for you, belief that He was really buried in a tomb and belief that He came back from the grave alive, with a physical body – that is belief in the living Lord Jesus Christ… and He did all of this for you and me.

Believing in Jesus – gives you eternal life, forever in the presence of God the Father, God the Son (Jesus) and God the Holy Spirit.

May this God of hope fill you with all joy and all peace when you believe in Jesus.

Abounding hope!  Overflowing joy and peace!  And it is all by the power of the Holy Spirit.  You and I cannot pretend or make it up.  The reality of this joy and peace is given by God the Holy Spirit for all who believe in Jesus.

This hope is given us when we simply ask Jesus to live in our hearts – it is faith in Him, not in ourselves or any other person or any other gods.

Followers of Christ – we are to live in the everydays of our lives with the sure knowledge that Jesus continues to give us salvation… it will never be taken from us.

The God of hope gives an abundance of overflowing joy and peace for all those whose faith is in Jesus.  This abundance is given by the power of God the Holy Spirit… and all God’s people shout Hallelujah!
