Designed due to the suggestion of Emilee Johnson who really liked the look of the "Joy" design. I wanted to capture some of the most meaningful Bible verses related to "Hope" and developed this design. I have included Bible verses in this order, Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the plans that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Romans 15:13 - Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Psalm 39:7 - My hope is in Him. Psalm 16:9 - Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices, My flesh also will rest in hope. Psalm 119:114 - Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices, My flesh also will rest in hope Psalm 16:9, You are my hiding place and my shield, I hope in Your word. Romans 5:5 - Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit given to us. Christian Hope is a living hope. Christ overcame this world through His resurrection. He redeemed us. This hope continues with the gift of The Holy Spirit, our comforter, helper and advocate. Believers have the promise of eternal life through Jesus. I alternated the floss colors slightly between each Bible verse transition so that each would be distinguishable. I'm really pleased at how nice this design turned out and particularly how many verses were included in one design! Sandra
