Signs of Hope 🙏🏼

Have you ever been looking for a sign, to give you hope in the darkest times?

A good friend of mine recently sent me three images of signs of hope we would look at when we needed it the most. It was butterflies, airplanes, and birds. Why did we see those things as signs of hope?

What does the Bible say?

2 Corinthians 5:17 *Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

A butterfly is first a caterpillar, then goes into a cocoon, and transforms when it comes out as a butterfly. It has become new. Hope is there. 🙏🏼

Isaiah 60:8 *Who are these that fly like a cloud, and like doves to their windows?

An airplane flys like a cloud and we can see them out our windows. So grand and amazing. Hope is here 🙏🏼

Matthew 6:26 *Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

A reminder that God takes care of the birds in the air and he will take care of us too. Hope is everywhere 🙏🏼

I haven’t spoken to this dear friend of mine in years, and just when I needed a word from God, she gave it to me.

Thank you Jesus for your great signs of Hope, letting us know that everything will work out in Jesus name, Amen 🙏🏼

Jeremiah 29:11 *For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

These are the exact pictures she sent me:

Put it in God’s hands
