In July of 2018, I got a call from my sister, Priscilla, while I was playing with my kids. She told me that my cousin, Winter, was on her way to the hospital. No one knew if she would make it. Even in the middle of tragedy, I was reminded that when you feel like all hope is lost, the answer to one question can bring it back again.

Kanika and I were high on hope at this point and as soon as our babysitter got there, we were on our way and praying the whole time. We just knew that God wasn’t going to let this happen to her. I was waiting for the moment that I could go to her room and see her.

When we say her daughters crying, I told them that things were going to be okay because I still had hope that it true. Then Winter’s husband, Jonathan, came around the corner and hugged the girls. He said, “Jesus has her now”. All of my hope had been lost and I couldn’t hold onto it anymore.

Some of you are in a place now where your hope is lost. You got some shocking news where you realize it’s not coming back. How can you have hope when that thing that you were hanging your hat on is gone?

Jonathan started singing in the hallway and everybody was looking at him. The man who just lost his wife a few moments ago was singing about the good Father. As I’m letting hope go, he’s holding onto it. He reminded himself and his girls that their mother was a believer.

No matter what you go through, ask yourself this question. Are you a believer? You have victory in life. In death. In your circumstances. In your family. You are not fighting for victory because Jesus has already grabbed hold of the victory.

If you are a believer, there are times you mourn and times you are hurt. But you will always be a believer. Do you believe Him? Have you given your life to Him? As long as you place your faith in Jesus Christ, you can always hold onto hope.

Be steadfast, unmovable, always abound in the work of the Lord and know that it will not go in vain.
