The Hope Choice: 

Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him, and that He has the power to help me change.

God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted. -Matthew 5:4

OUR PATH TO COMFORT & HOPE: ESCAPE

GOD’S PATH TO COMFORT & HOPE:

1. See who GOD REALLY IS

Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.  - Romans 8:34

But you, O Lord, are a God of compassion and mercy, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness. - Psalm 86:15

God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. - 2 Corinthians 1:3b

2. See who YOU REALLY ARE

For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. - Romans 3:23

I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself. - Jeremiah 31:3

Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. - Romans 3:24

3. See how GOD CAN CHANGE YOU

For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.    

- Philippians 2:13

This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!    - 2 Corinthians 5:17
